Superior Quality

Soft 'n' Safe

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 London 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.

What happens when learning meets fun? Magic!

Introducing the London Hippo Mat™ designed by Hackney illustrator Jane Smith. Combining playing, learning, and quirkiness all in one, this unique accessory will liven up and inspire your play area.

Featuring over a whopping THIRTY landmarks, places, or quirks of London, opportunities are rife for adventure. 

Visit the liveliness of Oxford Street from the comfort of your own home, whilst your children’s imagination travels around London. You can catch the big red buses from the busy Piccadilly Circus to the monumental Big Ben, sightseeing along the way. Wave to the Queen as you drive past Buckingham Palace or watch the maze of chaotic streets from the London Eye.

Not only will the user be having awesome British 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 London 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.
