Product description
What happens when learning meets fun? Magic!
The Brighton Hippo Mat™ is a modern take on the classic car play mat design, bringing back nostalgic feelings whilst also being a very functional and well-researched learning tool.
Combining playing, learning, and quirkiness all in one, this unique accessory will liven up and inspire your play area.
Featuring over fifteen landmarks, features, or quirks of Brighton, as well as a smattering of imaginative and quirky additions, opportunities are rife for adventure.
Not only will the user be having awesome Brighton-themed fun while using this mat, they’ll also be developing their hand-eye co-ordination, social skills, and cognitive abilities too. The latter is even more important, since learning about Local Geography is in the Key Stage One curriculum!
Children’s skin can be sensitive – we know that. But not to worry, the Brighton Hippo Mat™ has been tested and approved ‒ the microfiber velvet surface is not only completely free from substances that may harm your child’s skin or health, but soft and smooth to the touch too.
Each and every Hippo Mat™ is built with a non-slip latex backing for when the playing gets intense and you need a solid foundation. Not only that, the pretty floral non-slip pattern protects your floor and acts as a noise dampener all in one.
CE and UKCA Certified.
Recommended for ages from 12 months.
