Description

I-spy with my little eye. This reversible placemat also doubles up as an activity toy, and is perfect for keeping kids busy at mealtimes, as well as a fun game to play on holidays or journeys. Great gift at any time of year. The mat is reversible with 20 different images on each side, and in colours and themes to appeal to both boys and girls. Can you find the fox with a bow tie? Or Santa diving into a swimming pool on his summer holiday? The prints have been carefully chosen to provide a wide range of things to find - from simple to more detailed - to vary the complexity of play. As well as the traditional i-spy game, you can help your child search for specific items, images, shapes or colours, as well as introducing simple counting or directions. A great educational and play opportunity. Images will vary on each mat, but will include the similar themes to those in the photos. This mat has some Christmas themed prints on one side - the other is more general for year-round fun. Tested to EN71 standards and UKCA (the UK version of CE) marked, my I-spy playmats are safe for children of all ages. Being easily washable, they are perfect as place mats at mealtimes. SIZE - 10 by 12 inches Materials: a patchwork of 100% cotton prints on each side, interlined with a thin wadding and lightly quilted. Care: Hand or machine wash at 40, dry flat or tumble at low temperature. Medium iron.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

Like many crafters I try very hard to minimse wasted materials, but invariably I end up with pieces of fabric that are rather small. These are too beautiful to throw away so I am always looking for ways to use them, and from my love of patchwork I was inspired by i-spy quilts. But on a smaller scale. I remember many hours playing i-spy with my kids on the train or in restaurants - and dispairing at the lack of options to spot. These little playmats are perfect at home or on the go, and brillant at placemats at mealtimes. All of my items are lovingly made in Wales by me to my own design using quality materials, great craftsmanship and much attention to detail.

Suitable for any age
