Kevin Gatlin is the brilliant man behind this wonderful idea for kids in the hospital. It is called Playtime Edventures.
Kevin Gatlin knew there was an issue with the plain, white bedsheets in hospitals ever since he was very young.
“I was in the hospital for about a week and I was bored to death,” Gatlin said.
He said “My wife used to utilize the bed with our son, they would play board games they would do homework assignments it was the biggest piece of furniture in the room,” Gatlin said.
Several years ago, with the help of his mother, a school teacher, Gatlin created Playtime Edventures.
“I told her that I had this idea to put games on the bed and she looked at me and said, ‘I hope you’re going to put something educational on the bed as well,” Gatlin explained.
Over about a two year period, Gatlin met with about six teachers to discuss what should be on the playsheets, pillows and covers.
“We put together bedsheets and slumber bags that cover everything from Geography, Math, Science, Grammar, word find games, over-sized game boards… all on a three-piece set,” Gatlin said.
Gatlin said it was important for him to focus on kids in the hospital when he created his product. You can buy them here or donate one to kids here.
