What happens when learning meets fun? Magic!

Introducing the Hull Hippo Mat™. Combining playing, learning, and quirkiness all in one, this unique accessory will liven up and inspire your play area.

Featuring over ten landmarks, places, or quirks of Hull, opportunities are rife for adventure.

Not only will the user be having awesome Hull-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 Hull 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.

Good question!

So, because the market for these items is largely unknown, only Hippo Mat™s from each location are being created.

Depending on how it goes, more may be manufactured, however potentially not.

Either way, more will not be manufactured this year. As much as I’d like to, too many factors mean it’s just not possible.

So, if you’d like to guarantee your Hippo Mat™, and guarantee it for this year (and the winter festive period) then you may pre-order one of the 100 now, and it’ll arrive between 1st-7th December.

You can keep an eye on how the design is coming along here, and you can also always keep in touch through our social media channels (at the bottom of this page).

If you don’t like the design, or you change your mind, you can receive a 100% refund at any time. Peace of mind achieved.

Alternatively, you can wait until more images exist and the item is officially available in September. However I honestly can’t say if there’ll be any left.

If you have absolutely any more concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to ask: DM any of the social media accounts, or email hello@hippomat.uk and we’ll strive to squash any worries you may have 🙂

Thanks for reading!
