Kmart soft play refers to the collection of soft, padded play equipment and toys sold by Kmart Australia designed to create safe, cushioned play spaces for babies and toddlers. In simple terms, it’s soft mats, foam shapes, mini play gyms and padded inserts that protect little ones while encouraging exploration, crawling, and early gross‑motor development. The main reason Australians love Kmart soft play is because it blends safety, fun and value — perfect for everyday play at home or on the go.
Here’s why soft play matters: when children are learning to roll, crawl and stand, a soft, impact‑absorbing surface reduces bumps and keeps playtime enjoyable for both kids and carers. Kmart soft play brings this practical play solution to everyday family life with affordability and easy setup.
Kmart stocks a range of soft play options that suit different developmental stages, spaces and play preferences in Australian homes:
Large, cushioned floor mats that provide a safe base for floor play, tummy time, rolling and baby exploration. These often come in colourful, contrasting patterns that help visual stimulation.
Interlocking foam tiles that create a custom play area of any size — ideal for living rooms, nurseries or playrooms. They’re easy to add to and reconfigure.
Soft mats integrated with hanging toys or arches that support early hand‑eye coordination and sensory engagement.
Foam shapes, cubes and wedges that toddlers can climb on, stack or push — combining physical play with imaginative movement.
Compact and foldable padded play areas that are perfect for small spaces and easy storage.
Soft seats with activity trays or integrated toys for babies transitioning from floor play to seated play.
Fun motifs and colours — such as animal shapes, pastel tones or pattern mixes — designed to coordinate with other nursery décor.
These styles help create multi‑sensory, safe and engaging play zones that cater to babies from newborn to toddler age.
Selecting the right Kmart soft play product depends on your child’s age, your available space and development goals. Use this actionable guide to shop well:
Newborns: Simple soft mats and tummy time pads.
6–12 months: Play gyms with hanging toys and sensory elements.
Toddlers: Cushioned blocks and foam shapes that support climbing and balance.
Take note of your floor area to ensure the soft play zone fits comfortably, leaving room around it for safety.
Choose thick, high‑density foam and wipe‑clean, non‑toxic covers that are easy to maintain.
Foldable designs or lightweight mats make it easier to move play areas between rooms or for on‑the‑go play outside.
If your soft play area will live in a visible family space, choose colours and patterns that harmonise with your interior palette — neutrals for calm schemes or pops of colour for playful zones.
Look for:
Non‑slip bottoms
Rounded edges
Secure seams
Free from harmful finishes
Kmart soft play generally delivers excellent value, but compare sizes and included elements (e.g., extra blocks or gym toys) to get the best fit for your needs.
By following these steps, you’ll choose a Kmart soft play set that supports both play and peace of mind.

Soft play and children’s zones are evolving in 2025 as Australian families seek safer, smarter, and more stylish interiors:
Soft pastels, muted hues and earthy neutrals replace bright primary colours to blend play zones with wider interior schemes.
Families are choosing interlocking foam systems they can reconfigure as children grow.
Textured surfaces, contrasting patterns and multi‑sensory elements support early learning and engagement.
Eco‑conscious parents look for foam and covers made from recycled or low‑impact materials.
Children’s soft play areas are being integrated into open‑plan spaces with living and dining areas, so design cohesion matters.
Fold‑and‑go soft play kits that travel with family life — for holidays, grandma’s place or outdoor playdates — continue to gain popularity.
These trends show how soft play has become not just a kid’s corner, but an intentional part of family‑centric home design.
Here’s how to incorporate Kmart soft play into your home beautifully and intentionally:
Place the soft play mat on a larger area rug to define the play zone and add texture.
Match play mat tones with nursery wall colours or furniture textiles for a cohesive look.
Use low storage units or open shelving to frame the play area, creating a designated play corner without clutter.
Introduce soft floor cushions or pouffes from Florabelle Collection nearby for adult seating — perfect for supervision.
Ensure the soft play zone feels proportional to the room — not too large in small spaces, not too cramped in bigger rooms.
Slide soft toys and small blocks into baskets or hampers near the play area to keep floors clear.
Use floor lamps or gentle accent lighting from Café Lighting & Living to separate play zones from sleep or rest areas.
This styling advice helps you organise play in a way that feels stylish, joyful and functional — not just practical.
