Whilst a Hippo Mat has descended from the Hippo Gods, crammed with creativity and fun, ultimately it’s a play mat themed to where YOU live. As such, it makes sense you have your say as to what goes on in the design.
Here’s just five on the changes we’ve made recently, all based on your AWESOME feedback. Keep your suggestions coming, lovely people! We love hearing from you and co-creating these cool play mats together. It also helps us keep the play mats up-to-date with the ever-changing landscape of real life.
