Large Playmats

Posted by Taylor12 (65 days ago)

Does anyone know where to find playmats to put on the floor for baby to sit and crawl on? All I can find are (for want of a better description) those that look like square jigsaw puzzles. Spittle gets into the cracks, and they are a nightmare to clean. I'm after just a large wipe-clean mat, ideally about 1.5m by 2m. I've looked in Wing On, in my neighbourhood shop and in Bumps to Babes but everywhere only sells those jigsaw tiles. Ideally a source somewhere on HK island would be great.

If at all possible, I'd like something that looks reasonably decent, but I'm kinda resigned to the fact that everything will have cartoon characters on them....
Thanks!

you CAN find them... i have just bought two in sai kung, but i've seen them at most japan home stores.

i just spent $199 for each one and they are about 6'X8' if i remember correctly. you can also get the smaller size of 4'X6'

one is yellow with mickey mouse and the other is yellow with pooh. we used to have some that had various modes of transportation on them.

Thanks! I'm off to Japan HS then!
You know, someone would make a fortune selling decent-looking playmats. Business idea anyone? :-)

I saw a mat at Price Rite with transportation on it- not cartoon like but looks a bit real, and large square ones like the jigsaw ones but much bigger, set of four at Toys R Us in Central.
