If you’re looking for a baby gift that will make a difference, here’s why our "Touch 'n Go Play Mat" is the perfect choice.

1. Designed for Early Development

Sensory play mats are designed to stimulate your babies senses and promote early learning. Featuring a range of colour's, different textures, and interactive elements like the mirror or elastic shapes, which engage babies vision, touch, and hearing. All of this helps to develop babies motor skills, coordination, and cognitive functions from an early age. The safety and comfort of our play mat was an important factor throughout our design process, hence why it has been safety tested and is AS/NZS certified. This allows for parents to feel reassured their little one is exploring in a safe environment and with a safe product.

2. Promotes Tummy Time

Tummy time can help assist babies develop the muscles needed for head and neck control, which is essential for crawling and later walking. Our sensory play mat has a cushioned filling providing a soft space for little ones to be on their belly while interacting with the different textures and designs on the play mat.

By incorporating tummy time into their daily routine, babies will begin to develop their strength and motor skills in a fun and engaging way. Our sensory play mat will make this experience more enjoyable, as well as provide parents the opportunity to play and engage with their little ones by interacting with the different activities on the squares.

3. Encourages Creative Play

One of the challenges new parents face is creating a safe space for their baby to play and explore, our sensory play mats provide just that! With a soft surface and many interactive elements, babies are able to explore their way around the mat, gaining the confidence to independently take part in creative play. Stimulating their imagination as they chose how to interact and perform tactile play. This improves their cognitive function and fine gross motor skills development.

4. Stylish and Practical

Being new parents once ourselves we can appreciate and understand the time put into curating the perfect nursery and home décor. That's why when designing our sensory play mat it was important to feature modern neutrol and natural tones, alongside providing a pop of attractive colours for little ones to see and explore.

Additionally, our play mat is easy to clean (spot clean or machine washable), durable, and can be folded for convenient storage.. This makes them an ideal gift for parents looking for a practical yet stylish addition to their home.

5. A Thoughtful, Long-Lasting Gift

What makes our sensory play mats a standout baby gift is that they grow with the baby. A play mat is very versatile as they can be placed on it from newborn with a play gym over top, propped up by a pillow safely for tummy time and then of course for sensory exploration and play as they continue to grow month by month, reaching new milestones. Our "Touch 'n Go Play Mat" can become a part of any babies play time routine. Once babies begin to crawl, sit and then stand our sensory play mat remains a useful tool throughout the different stages of a baby’s first year. Reading books on it and having some quiet time can be great for toddlers.

Rather than gifting something that might be outgrown quickly, our sensory play mats offer long-term value, making them a thoughtful and enduring gift.

Here is what one of our customers had to say:

"Our Nosey Toesie playmat is used daily in our household. My three month old loves it and is currently obsessed with the contrasting colours and the shining whale! I love how this mat isn’t something we’ll use for just a few months but it will continue to support my bubs development as he grows. It’s also super easy to wash and dries very quickly. It is also a high quality product made with soft, durable materials. Very much recommend to parents"
