Overview
Description
Designed by child development experts, The Play Gym grows with your baby through a full year of play—from tummy time to sitting up and beyond. It’s beautifully crafted with eco-friendly, durable and baby-safe materials. If you plan to have more than one child, this is a well-made piece that you can pass down through multiple children.
Five development zones on The Play Gym reveal or conceal activities to prevent overstimulation and promote learning in targeted areas: focus, sound, tactility, hiding and finding and colors.
The Play Gym comes with a system of interchangeable Card Sets that you can swap out for your baby, including clips that attach to The Play Gym legs so that cards can be used overhead. You can hang toys from the arches or cover them with the Play Space Cover to inspire imaginative play. You can also get an easy-to-scan Play Guide for parents with research-backed ideas for fun activities throughout the developmental stages of the first year.
Lovevery Play Gym activities include:
- Organic Cotton High Contrast Montessori Ball is detachable and easy for your baby to grasp, pass from hand to hand or roll
- Wooden Batting Ring designed for batting and grasping, with bell and castanet sounds
- Organic Cotton Teether made with organic cotton, detachable and perfect for mouthing
- Silicone teething rings manufactured without PVC for safe, comfortable teething
- Black & White Card Set with high-contrast images that gradually get more complex
- Mirror Card Set, Common Objects Card Set and Faces Card Set
- The Play Guide: A full year of ideas for how to play
- Card Set Clips that attach to the gym to hold and rotate Card Sets
The Play Gym sets up in just two minutes, with no tools or batteries required. This means you can easily travel with or stash it away. It also includes an easily attachable Play Space Cover that transform your child’s play space.
You can also add Sensory Strands (sold separately) to encourage cognitive and sensory exploration and motor skills. They’re made with baby-safe materials such as organic cotton, and attach easily with Velcro straps and a safety loop.

Worth the Hype!
Wasn’t sure if this one would be worth the hype but it 100% is! My baby loves this play gym so much, even more than the fisher price piano mat!! It’s grown with her too which is so nice. Just buy it and enjoy your 15 minutes to drink your coffee :)

Crossbars could be better
This playmet has been fantastic for my new 5mo old. We got it when she was just over 3mos and it’s been really fun seeing her develop new interests and ways of playing with the different sections. The hide and find is the only one that doesn’t get much attention, but she loves the teething ring on its own.
I gave this 4 stars because 1. the wood crossbars are bigger than the mat, so the Velcro attachment pieces have to be pulled at an angle to attach the wood to the mat.

Love this play mat!
I’ve been loving the play kits and I’ve been eyeing the play mat but didn’t know if it was worth the money. When my baby got bored of his other simple play mat I decided to make the leap and I’m very happy I did. There was so much thought put into making this play mat for growing babies and to keep them engaged and enjoying it as they get older. Would definitely recommend.

Pleasantly Surprised
I thought products was too expensive when there are similar products for less. But when it arrived I was impressed of the quality, wood not plastic and the book of activities. This can last for a growing family.

I placed my order on
I placed my order on October 15, 2025 and while I am told it was shipped, I have no idea when it will arrive. I cannot write a review until I receive the Play Gym I ordered. For reference I ordered on the Lovery. com site and my order number is #6469942. Please can you assist me. This is a gift for my very first grandchild.

The Play Gym
At this point in my grandsons life it is not a gym but rather providing him walls to focus on. Would I call it a gym probably not. A Sensory Development Centre!
Mom and Dad already involved in Montessori are aware that thats what the set is doing.

Their own little star dome
My favorite feature by far is the tent option. Overstimulated babies have an escape of their own both soothing and comforting. Both of my twin granddaughters enjoy their quiet time focused on visual stimulation. Almost like having their own little star dome except it is polka dots they see. As a Nana who is their primary caregiver while Mama transitions back to work for the next three months the play gym is used for hours each day. Highly recommend.
