FREE Cornwall Themed Play Mat For Organisations

Our friends at Hippo Mat™ have created a Cornwall themed play mat designed by a local illustrator and packed full of local landmarks.

In an extremely generous offer, they are giving away FREE mats to organisations such a schools, hospitals, playgroups and family centres who may not have a huge budget, but would still love to explore play featuring where they live from the safety of inside.

If you know any organisations who may like to apply for a free Hippo Mat™, or are indeed from that organisation yourself, please head over to their Reg’s Pledge page where you can learn more and apply.



The Cornwall Hippo Mat™ has been designed by local illustrator Melanie Chadwick, and features landmarks and attractions from all over Cornwall. While the map is not 100% accurate in terms of distances, the position of the landmarks in relation to each other are.

This is a lovely way to get children excited about their local geography from a young age.

The mats also feature numerous road markings and safety elements to start getting your little one aware of road safety without even realising it!

The mat is a generous 90cm x 135cm with a microfibre velvet surface to play on and a non-slip latex backing.

Every comment is an automatic entry and the winner will be drawn on the Hippo Mat™ account on Monday 22nd November.
