Every mat helps fund play and learning for children.
Know a school, nursery, charity, hospital, refuge, family space, or community project that could benefit? Share Reg’s Pledge with them.
At Hippo Mat™, we believe play should be something every child can enjoy.
Not just at home. Not just on birthdays. But every day.
That’s why every Hippo Mat™ contributes towards helping children access play, learning, and creative experiences — wherever they are.
Play is how children learn about the world.
But not every child has the same access to these opportunities. Reg thinks that should change.
The students at Colne Park Primary School are enjoying their London Hippo Mat™, gifted to them through our Reg’s Pledge initiative. Legends! 🙌
Although Park Primary is based in Lancashire, the students are looking forward to being able to explore the capital from the classroom, particularly useful as it’s their current topic, and the London Hippo Mat™ has over 30 unique landmarks and features 😲
🏫 At the school, they teach strong values such as setting good examples to those younger than you, to be caring, cheerful, friendly, honest, pleased when others succeed, polite, and honest. The future is in good hands 😊
We’ve made a simple promise:
This is not an afterthought. It’s built into every mat we make.
“The mother and baby unit residents love the mat and have been busy showing the babies the sights of Manchester on it!
Unfortunately due to COVID many of our babies have been unable to go out on town so know very little of the world outside of the prison – which is really quite sad. The Manchester Hippo Mat™ has given them a brief glimpse of Manchester city and they all really enjoy playing on it.
Thank you once again for providing us with one!”
Every time you choose a Hippo Mat™:
Simple. Honest. Meaningful.
Hippo Mat™ isn’t just about play. Each mat is designed to:
And now, it does something more.
“Hi, I’m Reg 👋
I believe every child deserves a place to play, explore, and imagine.
That’s why I make sure every Hippo Mat™ helps give something back.
Thanks for being part of it.”
And together, we can make more of it possible.
Reg’s Pledge supports organisations and community settings that help children play, learn, and explore.
This often includes nurseries, pre-schools, childminders, family centres, charities, toy libraries, and community-led spaces.
We know meaningful support can happen in many different settings. If your organisation helps children in a thoughtful and practical way, we’d be glad to hear from you.
We review each application carefully and prioritise settings where a Hippo Mat™ can make a meaningful difference to children’s play and learning.

Once you’ve shared, you can leave your name, location, and a short message for the Hippo Mat™ Hall of Fame.
