The Tumbl Trak Hopscotch Beam Mat is a reversible 3-foot wide by 12-foot long gymnastics mat that does the work of two pieces of equipment in one compact, foldable surface - available for home gymnasts, recreational programmes, and preschool gym classes across North America. One side features a traditional hopscotch pattern for active, game-based play. Flip it over and a 4-inch white beam stripe with 1-foot gradations runs the full length of the mat, giving young athletes a floor-level surface for practicing beam skills, long jumps, straight-line tumbling, and drill sequences without a raised beam.

The mat is 1-3/8 inches thick - the same standard thickness as Tumbl Trak's core tumbling mat range - and folds into 2-foot-wide panels for easy storage. Folded in half, the mat becomes an 11-inch-high block that opens a second set of uses: jumping off, high-low skill drills, fort-building, tunnel play (standing the mat on its edge), and creative obstacle activities. At 20 lbs it moves easily around a room, making it as suitable for a child's bedroom as it is for a preschool gymnasium.

Two Sides, Many Activities

On the hopscotch side:

• Classic hopscotch play for active games, movement challenges, and gross motor development
• Number recognition, sequencing, and spatial awareness activities for preschool and early years programmes
• Jumping and hopping challenges that develop unilateral and bilateral coordination in a naturally engaging, game-based format

On the beam stripe side:

• Floor-level beam practice for walks, leaps, jumps, turns, and basic gymnastics routines without the fall risk of a raised beam
• Long jump training with the 1-foot beam stripe gradations providing visual feedback on jump distance
• Straight-line tumbling guidance - the 4-inch beam stripe teaches gymnasts to stay narrow and centred during rolls, handstands, and cartwheels
• Fits under an 8-foot balance beam as a safety and landing mat, providing an extra cushioned layer beneath the beam during elevated skill practice

Folded as a block:

• 11-inch high jumping platform for box jumps and high-low drills
• Wall or tunnel configuration when stood on edge, for fort-building and imaginative play
• Compact storage format that fits in a small bedroom or playroom without floor sprawl

Key Features of the Tumbl Trak Hopscotch Beam Mat

• Reversible Dual-Sided Design - The hopscotch pattern and beam stripe are printed on opposite sides of the same mat, allowing the user to switch between active game play and gymnastics skill training simply by flipping the mat over; the two sides are fully distinct with no pattern bleed-through
• 4-Inch White Beam Stripe with 1-Foot Gradations - The beam stripe on the reverse side is 4 inches wide with 1-foot measurement marks along its length, providing a visual target for straight-line movement and measurable reference points for long jump training and progressive skill development
• Folds into an 11-Inch High Block - The mat folds in half along its 2-foot-wide panels to form a stable 11-inch block, opening a second category of use as a jumping platform, landing surface, and high-low drill station
• 3ft Wide x 12ft Long x 1-3/8in Thick - The 12-foot length provides a full gymnastics skill progression surface; the 3-foot width is narrower than a standard tumbling mat, making it ideal for smaller spaces such as a child's bedroom; the 1-3/8-inch thickness matches the standard Tumbl Trak tumbling mat profile
• 18 oz. Knife-Coated Vinyl Covering - Covered in 18 oz. knife-coated vinyl over crosslink polyethylene foam; the knife-coating process bonds the vinyl to a reinforced woven base fabric for superior tearing and peeling resistance; wipe clean with a damp cloth
• Crosslink Polyethylene Foam Core - Industry-standard crosslink foam provides the optimal balance of cushioning and support; firm enough for stable standing, soft enough to absorb impact from rolls, handstands, and landings
• 2-Foot Folding Panels - The mat folds into 2-foot-wide sections for compact storage; the panels stack flat or stand upright in a narrow space, making this one of the most storage-efficient 12-foot gymnastics mats available
• Fits Under an 8-Foot Balance Beam - The 3-foot width and 12-foot length are sized to fit neatly under a standard 8-foot balance beam as a landing and safety mat
• 20 lbs - Genuinely Portable - At 20 lbs the mat is light enough to be moved by a child and repositioned between rooms without adult assistance
• Available in Red and Purple - Two colour options allow families and gym programmes to choose based on preference or station colour-coding
• CPSIA-Compliant Materials - All materials meet CPSIA safety standards; suitable for children and appropriate for school and institutional gym purchasing
• Designed in the USA, Made in China - Designed by Tumbl Trak in the USA to commercial training standards.

Skills Developed with the Tumbl Trak Hopscotch Beam Mat

• Balance & Body Awareness - Walking, stepping, jumping, and performing gymnastics skills along the narrow beam stripe challenges balance, body awareness, and postural control in a progressive, floor-level format accessible to beginners and young children
• Gross Motor Coordination & Unilateral Development - Hopscotch play naturally develops unilateral (single-leg) and bilateral (two-leg) coordination by alternating single-foot and double-foot landing patterns; this is one of the most effective early childhood motor development activities available in a game-based format
• Spatial Awareness & Sequencing - The numbered hopscotch squares support number recognition and spatial sequencing simultaneously, making the mat valuable for early years educational settings as well as recreational gymnastics
• Gymnastics Skill Progression - The beam stripe supports straight-line rolling, handstanding, cartwheel alignment, leaping, and beginning beam skill sequences that build toward elevated beam practice in a safe, floor-level environment

Note: Always use under adult supervision for young children. The crash mat is not intended for use as a primary landing mat for falls from elevated equipment. For use under a balance beam as a supplementary safety layer only.
