Tile – Protecting tiles from damage caused by child

protectiontile

I have a one year old at home who takes great pleasure in pulling utensils from kitchen cabinets (which are just a little higher than him) and banging and dragging them on the floor. This has made impressions on the (brand new!) tiles and scratches which we aren't able to get rid off.

How can I protect my tiles from such damage ?

One thought was to lay chair mats (office) but they are of a weird shape and will need more than a few of them to cover a 6' by 10'rectangular tiled kitchen space.

I do not want to curtail his curiosity. Child safety locks are useless as he can simply pull the drawer with his force – bringing down the child safety lock. Now we have resigned to not keeping glassware in the cabinet.

You could use red rosin paper

Ram Board

Or some other similar product. These products are used by builders and contractors, to protect flooring during construction. They can be trimmed easily to fit any size and shape floor, are fairly cheap, and easily removable.
