Nursery World - Play on (3)

Playmats have evolved over the years from being somewhere clean you could put babies down, to a source of stimulation and entertainment for the babies themselves. It's useful to have several in the nursery so you can mix and match between mats which have integral 'playgyms', mats with lots of sewn-in features and mats which are just, well, mats Mats

Mats

This straightforward play mat with a nursery motif is cotton on one side, polyurethane nylon on the other and measures a generous 150 x 100cm. The mat could also be used under highchairs at mealtimes or during messy activities, as it has no flaps or sewn-in accessories and is machine washable. Priced Pounds 9.99 from JoJo Maman Bebe.
