ABSTRACT:
A mat toy is provided that has many soft microbubbles extending upward from its upper surface. Gas is sealed within each bubble. When jumped upon by a child, a bubble becomes compressed and bursts with a popping sound enjoyed by children. The soft upper layer is adherent to a stiff bottom layer. This provides sufficient rigidity that the mat lies flat when jumped upon and cannot wrap around and suffocate a child. The bottom surface is further provided with a high friction, slip or skid-resistant surface so that the mat will not slide out from under the jumping child to avoid injury. The upper layers may be light transmissive and indicia such as a colored cartoon animal may be provided at a lower layer that is visible to the child for enhanced appeal. An intermediate cushioning layer such as a closed cell foam may alternatively be provided.
