Superior Quality

Non-Slip Backing
A lot of mats out there in the market aren't even backed with anything - the retailer will make you buy a non-slip mat separately! Our non-slip latex backing is added during the manufacturing process, and not only prevents the mat from slipping around, but adds overall durability making it a great addition in our opinion.

Enhanced Development
Children playing with the Cornwall Hippo Mat™ will either consciously, or subconsciously, know the areas and landmarks featured on the map. Because of this they'll be stimulating and developing their brain at an accelerated rate as opposed to if they were just playing with a generic design where they didn't know the areas.

Product description
What happens when learning meets fun? Magic!
Introducing the Cornwall Hippo Mat™ designed by local artist Melanie Chadwick. Combining playing, learning, and quirkiness all in one, this unique accessory will liven up and inspire your play area.
Featuring over fifteen landmarks, places, or quirks of Cornwall, opportunities are rife for adventure.
Create memories with your children as they discover the beauty within their home within Cornwall (from the comfort of their own home!). Take in the rugged scenery as you drive along the coastline – perhaps you’ll even make it to Lands’ End! Catch some waves at one the many awesome places to do so, or perhaps you’ve like to relax and spend time in one of the many beautiful towns and villages dotted around the county.
Not only will the user be having awesome Cornwall-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 Cornwall 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.
