If you can’t afford the space or expense of purchasing daycare or pre-school type rest mats or sleeping cots, another option you might want to consider are kids large body pillows like the ones pictured here. Kids simply love these huggable, cuddly, body pillows that are great not only for napping with—they can “hug” them for security—but they’re also fantastic to have at home when your kids are lounging on the couch or in a large, easy chair, and eventually fall off to sleep!

These body pillows are hypoallergenic, fire proof, fluid proof, and easily cleaned up. The pillows eventually will conform to your kids’ bodies, and are so comfortable; you might want to grab a couple for mom and dad! Another great idea to go along with these kids body pillows are kids bean bag chairs, which are always a popular choice for kids to relax in to play video games, read a book, or watch TV.

Children love to sit—and sometimes even nap in—bean bag chairs.  Some pre-schools do have bean bag chairs along with children’s play mats, making for yet one more way to keep kids settled and quiet when it’s often [usually] difficult to do so!  Experience shows many such items go a long way in keeping kids occupied and satisfied.

When it’s naptime, you can either opt for mini cots or if you home school, and don’t want to send your kids to their beds for naptime, then a few kids body pillows either thrown on the couch, or on their folding rest mats really helps out when you need for them to settle down and take their naps; body pillows are great because kids—much like adults—like to have something to hug or snuggle when their trying to take a nap.  All of these things will really prove to be big helps for classroom or even play room settings at home.
