Dad Turns Board Games into Bed Sheets So Sick Kids Lying in Hospitals Won’t Get Bored

August 16, 2019 By Mike Thurstone

Ever since he was a child, Kevin Gatlin was tired from the dull surroundings of hospital chambers — thus as a method of earning certain his kids were not made to endure the identical tedium, he created a very simple remedy to aid with the hospital doldrums.

Gatlin is the reason for Playtime Edventures, an interactive pair of bed sheets which contain heaps of lessons and games for kids confined to their hospital beds.

The entrepreneur from Charlotte, North Carolina first got the idea for those bedsheets after he moved to see his buddy’s hospitalized child many years ago.

Heartbroken by the notion of a kid spending hours upon hours at an open white space, he wondered how his wife had consistently played games on his kid’s bed to help him fall asleep.

Gatlin subsequently spent the following two years, creating the sheets so that kids could be amused by the comfort of their very own bed.

In addition, he worked with several college teachers to make the games more informative.

So far, Gatlin understands his sheets are used in 10 distinct hospitals throughout the nation — but because his clients can contribute bedsheets for their local hospitals, that amount might be a lot greater.

Parents may also purchase the interactive sheets for their children in the home, but Gatlin expects that his product will shortly make its way to hospitals around the globe.
