Because Babies Grow Up

We had the opportunity to test drive the Tadpoles Playmat in Stylish Pink-Brown.

A. Cute!!

B. Fun!!

The playmat is made of EVA foam which is soft and squishy, making for a fun play surface. We had fun assembling the puzzle pieces of the mat. Sammi’s favorite part was putting the circle centers into the holes. At first she was insistent that the center color must match the frame color, but about half-way through she decided to get wild. She started putting different colors together. She thought mismatching the colors was so funny.

Elli also got in on the action. She had fun putting circle centers in. She and Sammi raced to see who could get their center in the fastest. They were so cute scrambling around the surface of the mat finding empty spots for their circles. I thought the mat was a bit small at first, but they had plenty of room to play on it together.

We left the mat out for a few days. It happened to be assembled by the front door so it got a lot of foot traffic and dirt. I was worried that all the walking on it would damage the foam. But it didn’t. When I put the mat away (so I could clean for a party) the pieces cleaned-up easily and looked great. My favorite part was that all the pieces fit back into the original packaging easy peasy.

This playmat is available from Tadpoles Bedding Company for $24.99. It also comes in three color combination choices: stylish pink-brown, sophisticated blue-brown, and modern classic multi-color.
