Tippitoes Nikki Bug Activity Mat
Tippitoes Niki Activity Mat
Every seasoned mum knows that babies don’t sleep all day, every day forever. It gets to a stage when they want to be entertained, and you won’t get away with leaving them in the Moses’ basket or cot if they are wide awake (and why would you want to when it’s not bed or nap time, anyway?).
The Nikki Bug Activity mat is fantastic from birth because you can lay your baby on it, and let them admire the toys hanging in front of them. As they grow, they will be able to appreciate the quirky noises that the mat makes, and the toys, too.
The mat is very sumptuous in fabric – very soft and good quality. And the colours are wonderfully bright and fun.
The added bonus is that it is easy to pack away and folds quite flat, so you can store it or take it with you on trips, or when you are visiting friends or relatives.
