Puzzle Pet Mat

Abstract

A soft and plush surface, broken into various pieces, is provided for a child to play upon. The soft and plush surface is in the shape of an animal, preferably. The various pieces are of various colors to mimic the fur color pattern a particular animal. A substrate layer is provided underneath the soft and plush surface to anchor the soft and plush surface. A glue layer is positioned underneath the substrate layer to fixedly attached the substrate layer to a foam layer. The present invention is soft and flexible enough to be used as a conventional format, but at the same time, the present invention is rigid enough to be put together like a puzzle.

1 ) A method for deploying a play mat on a floor by a user comprising:
 storing a set, said set containing at least two pieces;   spreading the set on the floor;   connecting the set together to form a unitary mat;   playing on the unitary mat; and,   disassembling the unitary mat into the set.   
     
     
         2 ) The method of  claim 1 , wherein the unitary mat has a foam layer. 
     
     
         3 ) The method of  claim 1 , wherein the unitary mat has a substrate layer. 
     
     
         4 ) The method of  claim 1 , wherein the unitary mat has a plush layer. 
     
     
         5 ) The method of  claim 1 , wherein the unitary mat has a glue layer binding a substrate layer to a foam layer. 
     
     
         6 ) The method of  claim 1 , further comprising only touching the floor with a foam layer of the set. 
     
     
         7 ) The method of  claim 1 , further comprising only sitting on a plush layer of the set. 
     
     
         8 ) The method of  claim 2 , wherein the unitary mat has a substrate layer. 
     
     
         9 ) The method of  claim 2 , wherein the unitary mat has a plush layer. 
     
     
         10 ) The method of  claim 2 , wherein the unitary mat has a glue layer binding a substrate layer to a foam layer. 
     
     
         11 ) The method of  claim 2 , further comprising only touching the floor with a foam layer of the set. 
     
     
         12 ) The method of  claim 2 , further comprising only sitting on a plush layer of the set. 
     
     
         13 ) The method of  claim 3 , wherein the unitary mat has a foam layer. 
     
     
         14 ) The method of  claim 3 , wherein the unitary mat has a plush layer. 
     
     
         15 ) The method of  claim 3 , wherein said unitary mat has a glue layer binding said substrate layer to said foam layer. 
     
     
         16 ) The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 playing sound when all pieces are fully interlocked.   
     
     
         17 ) The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 playing sound when as one piece is interlocked with another piece.   
     
     
         18 ) The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 Playing sound when all pieces are fully disassembled.   
     
     
         19 ) The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 Playing sound as one piece is separated from another piece.   
     
     
         20 ) A method for deploying a play mat on a floor by a user comprising:
 storing a set, said set containing at least two pieces;   spreading the set on the floor;   connecting the set together to form a unitary mat;   playing on the unitary mat;   disassembling the unitary mat into the set;   wherein the unitary mat has a foam layer;   wherein the unitary mat has a substrate layer;   wherein the unitary mat has a plush layer;   wherein the unitary mat has a glue layer binding a substrate layer to a foam layer,   further comprising only touching the floor with a foam layer of the set;   further comprising only sitting on a plush layer of the set;   further comprising playing sound when all pieces are fully interlocked;   further comprising playing sound when as one piece is interlocked with another piece;   further comprising playing sound when all pieces are fully disassembled; and,   further comprising playing sound as one piece is separated from another piece.
