Often soft play is riddled with chaos and germs, but one mum managed to find something slightly out of place – and it had other parents tearing up at the discovery
Parents know the pure chaos which comes with taking their children to soft play. During summer it can be hard finding something for the kids which they won't find boring, so the first thought is taking them to an indoor playground.
With those centres, they're often taken over by kids running and jumping around the place, so finding something out of character would simply not be easy. But one mum managed to discover an item incredibly out of place which nearly left her tearing up. She spotted a handwritten note, believed to be written by a child's parents, and it was seriously adorable.
She said on Reddit: "Found in the ball pit at an indoor play place." In the image, it also showed the note which read: "Najiba. You are smart, kind and beautiful. I am so proud of you and you will have a great year! See you soon. Mom & dad."
Sadly there wasn't much explanation as to who the people were in the note. But it's likely to have been written to a child who might have misplaced it in the soft play area.
Reddit users react to adorable message discovered in ball pit
In the comments section, other parents admired the cute gesture from the mum and dad to their child. One said: "I can't tell if I'm tearing up because of the sweet note or because that ball pit just gave me conjunctivitis."
While another added: "That is lovely! I wish my parents had done things like this." To which the original poster replied: "Right! Gonna start leaving little notes like this for my kid once he can read. Maybe I'll just draw stuff he likes for now for him to find."

Previously, a mum was left fuming when her neighbour stuck a rude note on her car with one detail which made her blood boil.
In a post on Instagram, Crystal Murphey, from the US, explained her son had driven his car to school and had secured permission from a resident near his school to park on the road outside her home.
But when he came back to his vehicle at the end of the day, he found a note stuck to the driver's side window, angrily telling him the area isn't an "overflow parking lot for high school students".
The neighbour hadn't just stuck the note down with tape - they'd actually superglued the letter to the window.
In the video, Crystal said: "I'm in shock. This is superglued on."
