Just ask a room full of adults if they remember those playmats where you drive toy cars on as kids, and watch eyes light up. It seems to be a universally loved pastime: driving toy trucks, building Lego cities and letting your imagination run wild. But what if you could explore your actual neighborhood right on the mat? Kinderkiez, developed by Berlin dad Felix Stock, is the startup allowing you to create a playmat featuring your very own Kiez. In addition to the novelty, it also means kids can learn as they play, discovering the way to the Kita, Grandma’s place and the playground. Using geo-spatial technology and beautiful illustrations, you can put in any address in the world and generate a playmat of the local area. Next, you can customize the design any way you like, from pirate ships in the pond or a flag on important locations, to a street sweeper your little one insists should be on the corner. Here’s to the next generation of happy playmat memories. (Text: Emily Miotke / Photos: Kinderkiez)
