I expect to see toy cars covering the mat making it look like a mini car lot!!! But it means i could throw out his pastic car mat and this would be much nicer!
I can see master 4 and master 3 playing demolishion derby on it,crashing their cars into each other and then a battle being fought.boys will be boys
I imagine Thomas the tank engine delivering to the wolves( my dons word for whalf!) and well as plenty of cars going on ships. There will also be plenty if cars on the rug taking trips to the shop park or beach!
I will definitely see my 2 yr old driving his cars and trucks on this rug, and in about a month, his new baby brother might be having some tummy time with him while he plays with his toys. Beautiful rug!
I envisage my son with his play farm animals all over the ‘meadows’ of this rug!
Ooooh my 4m old will love to roll around & admore the colours, while my super imaginative niece would create SOOO many fun games (doll houses, toy trips, fantastic sailing adventures, or just relaxing on the riverbank) hour of entertainment!
I’d see our road trip from Melbourne to Sydney and back again plated out… Quite possibly a more positive recollection from Miss 3 than from Mum and Dad!
I see my two children playing with cars racing up and down the path.
*played
Shoes are my toddler’s current obsession – at this stage, I’d expect that she’d have fun setting up all her shoes along the path! :)
My boy is not quite 9 months, so I expect he’d spend a great deal of time just running his fingers over the lines before he’s old enough to grasp imagitive play.
Farm, my daughter loves animals and it would inspire her imagination and play with her animals toys.
Farm design, my daughter loves animals and it would inspire her imagination and play with her animals toys.
Great rug!
This reminds me of an aerial view of a Greek island (maybe I have an over-active imagination)! We could have a little holiday on it!
We would definately be using it for car rallies!! Have a car mad little man at our house!!
Although there is lots of pretend play here, we would see a lot of the kids lolling about on top of our dog Lucy. No doubt!
My eldest would have his toy car out pretending that Nanny and Pop are going to the shops or fishing. While my youngest would be alongside his brother on his tummy moving round and grabbing at all the colourful pictures. My kind of heaven really.
this could possible be the best track through the jungle (past the friendly stuffed animals!), and onto a teddy bears picnic by the water!
At our house this rug would be perfect for brrrrroooooomming cars and trucks, wokawokawokaing helicopters and neeeeeeeeooorrrrring aeroplanes over and around and on!
Princess Olivia would create a magical land full of fairies, mermaids and ponies, until the destructive Eddiesauras crawled along attempting to eat everything in sight
Our favourite game right now is Snakes and Ladders – and this play rug looks perfect for a dolly-sized game.
We have the most hideous orange and lime green carpet and this rug would make it look more like a wonderland than psychadelic eye-bender. I expect we’ll see ‘Baby’ the tiny koala having a bottle (water bottle lid) and going to bed under the blanket (teatowel).
Pirates galore, cars zooming, babies, doctors….you name it! With a five year old, three year old and one year old anything goes. Its the era of imaginative play.
I can fully picture my 2 year old sitting on this rug with her teddies and books and playing schools. She LOVES “reading” to them and it’s way too cute!
Oh I expect I’ll see my little man flat out on his tummy concentrating hard on the toys he moves upon the Playways rug. Or standing upright, dancing on the soft pile, overbalances will not hurt as much.
A toy car in Little Bobby’s hand being banged constantly on the rug with a big cheeky grin on his face!
my little daughter attempting to escape off the rug by rolling onto her back and eventually crawling away to explore the wonders of the livinmg room!
My little is currently obsessed with ‘Row row row your boat’ at the moment. So no doubt there will be alot of pretend splashing around on the water.
My gorgeous, nurturing 5 year old daughter mothering and teaching her brand new sibling due in a few months.
Giggling herself silly with enjoyment. That’s what we’ll be seeing the most of on one of these beautiful and creative rugs
Baby would probably use it as her park indoors and set her animals around the path. Crawling and rolling around on this adorable rug is a given!
I see the road to Nannas house and all the sights on the way
Miss 3 would set up a tea party picnic fit for a princess, while Miss 2 declares the playmat is hers, for cars and trucks only, continuously shouting ‘Mine! Mine! Mine!’ like a Finding Nemo seagull! And little baby Joshua would just stare on quite bewildered, wondering what on earth all this commotion is about! :)
I’m expecting to see my son zoom his wooden cars right along the winding sea side race track! Zoom Zoom!
At this stage it will be all about rolling about and learning to crawl and of course trying to eat the pretty colours.. what more could a little girl want
definitely playing ‘by the seaside’, by little girl is obsessed with the beach at the moment.
With our 1st on the way, I’m sure to find my husband “road testing” all the little bits and pieces we’ve been buying on this beautiful rug… “just to make sure it works” :)
With my little boys Daddy into things on two wheels and four, and his Grandaddy liking the same plus flying and being musical. It seems his influences will be wheels, strings and wings. So when Max plays on his Playways rug there will be traffic on the ground and air whilst singing a tune!
A raceway complete with leggo buildings and lots of cars!!
The beauty of a child’s imagination. The scene I see- and the scene my children see and would be creating on their Urban Baby Playways Rug could be two very different things!!
I can see Lego houses all over the rug, it’s the perfect ‘base’ for my daughters little Lego city!
My little man would definitely use it to set up his choo-choo rack!
There would be races and train tracks and tea parties galore if this gorgeous rug came to my home from your store!
My girl would position all her dolls to be sleeping on the boat, on the side of the road and on the house of this interactive play rug. There seems to be a lot of sleeping going on lately for her dolls. Enter my boy who would drag them all off to put down his police car and sound the siren for the many emergencies that are happening.
My daughter’s become a dressup machine,
Pirates, surgeons, just about any scene.
She entertains us with ballerina twirls,
As well as pretending she’s a material girl.
The Playways Rug is the perfect stage
For my little Actor’s imaginative gauge.
Mermaids, axe murderers and laughing clowns
On this mat, will be real entertainmet town.
It would be a toss up between the cars Master Nearly 3 loves and the lego boats Master 4 has taken to constructing. Both boys love anything with some water-based theme. There aren’t many around (and we have a very nautical themed life!)
I see a lot of squealing and smiling, and unfortunately a little bit of dribble and chuck ups too :)
I see the Traffic one being used all the time here, as master 3 is very into all things cars, trucks and boats, and so are his little friends from the mothers group we host.
MissC would probably create a Lego wonderland.
I expect to see my son sitting in the middle of the rug ‘accidently’ disturbing my daughter’s game with her cars…
Oh Definatly cars along with the train track, My Little guy loves anything that goes brooom LOL.
We would see alot of cars racing, some crashed and many tears.
Its a raceway that is super fast. VROOM VROOM!
It is a great mat for a seaside vilage with a bus, a supermarket and much, much more.
It’s the school bus route. Great way to practice safety with this amazing playmat.
My son is still waiting for me in Korea but I am sure when he finally calls Australia home he would be playing with cars and trucks on this rug. I have been looking for a rug and I think this could be it as the colours match perfectly with our living room!
My little girl (17months) is crazy about trains and dinosaurs, so I can imagine her carpet covered with her wooden train and toy dinosaurs. It would give her precious time to use her imagination.
With master two, its likely to be trains in the water, diggers in the garden beds and helicopters flying in and out of houses. Thats if I don’t get told to “be careful, danger cars coming” for walking on it! I do love the joy and drama of life with a two year old.
My 1 yr old having a colouful scene to race his beloved cars around in his aqua bedroom =)
Right now my baby will enjoy drooling onto the Playways rug, try to eat/lick the houses and figure out how to sit up on his own, and in a few months he will make his toys go an adventure up the road!
Zoom zoom zooom goes the cars until they hit the water and turn into a boat
A perfectly clean scene-in my dreams!
It will be covered in dolls, blocks and teddy’s.
Farm animals all over the fields, loads of fun for little imaginative minds.
I can see this rug being the launchpad for learning to roll over and sit up.
I would expect to see my 2 year old driving her matchbox cars around and playing with her ponies
The wonderful thing about the imagination (and a rug like this that can inspire) is that every day can bring a new adventure – One day a shopping strip, another a farm, and the next, who knows? Maybe a race track or a boat trip, or just a quiet spot to lay down and trace fingers across the lines.
I see animals and tea parties,
And my cheeky Millipede.
I can see my daughter’s favourite imagination combination of farm set+kitchen+duplo having a new home – what a great scene…please, Urban Baby – I need to reclaim my living room floor!
My 2 year old son Austin would love this beautiful rug to push all of his cars and trucks on. He is also very good at making the noises, makes me smile.
I am completely in love with the traffic rug. My car loving 2 year old would adore it and it’s the perfect playrooom size. The farm rug is brilliant too!
I think my 10 month old will totally love crawling along the pretty path…and admiring all the bright colours and babbling out loud with excitement! :)
Sometimes imagination needs a ‘road map’ to take kids away to worlds where road rules are no longer and adventures are a-pleanty. These are the perfect road map to imagination!
With a architect mum and engineer dad, bubby would probably build a whole city – but have more fun destroying it Godzilla style.
I believe we would change from a road to visit a shop, then all of the cars would be set up and when that was finished all of the new Martians we have would be set up so the rockets could travel all over it. The options are endless.
Crazyness, cars trucks boats, whatever he can find will be on the rug and the dog will be sitting in the corner watching.
Little Miss will be on there with “her people”. They are mostly Fairies, horses and Unicorns but the big bad wolf often appears. Funny enough Big Bad is a Duplo leopard but he can still huff and puff.
what a gorgeous rug! i can see lots of sylvanian families on this rug :)
I expect to see my girls sharing their toys happily together… and then I wake up ;)!
The rug lends itself to a mega-sized board game
Just need some super-sized dice!
Hopefully not the tantrums I seem to see every day!
in a house blessed with 2 girly girls I expect to see this rug feature in an extensive my little pony village, complete with my little pony mermaid retreat and peppered with the occasional littlest pet shop pet and princess doll.
Chugginton, and Thomas the Tank toys would be pushed and pulled on this. Would be a lot quicker than spreading out the butchers paper, and drawing all the roads, houses and trees on it.
Probably every toy bubba can get his little hands on! Blocks, books and musical instruments. But at least it will all be in one place! I can see him spending alot of time admiring all the colours and patterns in the rug.
Whoops my last name was autocorrected wrong on my comment should be O’Hara not O’Yara!
My little man loves his planes, an airport would be his favourite; but the opportunities are endless!
My little boys would have the farm rug covered with tractors and animals. Hours of imaginative play!
I can see my child (due in 7 weeks) sending her barbie dolls skinny dipping down the river. She’s going to be a cheeky one, i can feel it.
I hope that my beautiful daughter would roll for the first time on this lovely rug!
My daughter would love this she would walk her dolls and cars up and down it.
Honk Honk! Beep Beep!
My kids will hit the streets
with ‘red’ car, ‘blue’ car, ‘your car’ and ‘my car’ too!
With houses to visit and parks to play, this rug will provide them joy each and every day!
Looks like fun for the little ones AND still looks great too!
Not sure! could be a place for dolls and teddies to play or cars and trains!!! Depends if bub is boy or girl I guess!
My twincesses would adore this !! Making ‘unicorn land’ and ‘fairy land’ are their current favourites !!
My baby girl will jump in like a mermaid, swing from the trees eating apples like seagulls and ride boats like a pirate.
One year old Zoe’s current favourite blocks would be strewn across this, but in the future, who knows….. fairyland, car racing, jungle games…. possibilities are endless!
A family trip ( husband myself and baby all on the rug) matchbox cars being driven alongside the river, jump on a boat for a bit of fishing and later on a BBQ at the riverside cafe! A perfect day!
pirates along the canal, chasing the cars screaming down the road!
Immi will be taking her dolls for playdates at all the different houses!
I see scenes of great fun and laughter
playing with my 8 month old daughter.
At the moment she loves to point, touch and tug
and would love the textures of this Playways rug!
Think my daughter would probably create San Francisco, a la LILO and stitch! But my son who is into cows will probably make a farm! A great versatile addition to any playroom! X
i believe that clem would probably (a) build some kooky buildings with her wooden blocks – teetering towers of asymetric psychedelic beauty and (b) have vast numbers of jigsaw puzzles on the go. perfect
I see this playmat growing with my child! Currently as a soft, cosy surface to kick around on, roll around on and to cushion any falls. Later as a hive of activity for imaginative play (I’m seeing tonka trucks and wooden cars!). And Later still, simply as a stylish floor rug to brighten the bedroom.
I can just see my little man creating a concrete plant and running construction job sites, just like his daddy!
What a great Rug! I can see tea parties and toy play dates, doll house gardens and car & train tracks! What a great base for imaginative play!
I see NOTHING on it because its just too pretty!!!!
Wow lots of fun to be had on this beautiful mat my little miss 6 and mr 2 would have a ball making up new games to play :-)
After our existing rug has endured the wrath of potty training we are in need of a new one! The most likely scene for our new rug would be a car spectacular, with every precious car lined up on the road.
Great Rug! Kids will have a blast using their imaginations to spend many fun hours playing all-sorts of things. I know my three grandchildren would love it.
I can imagine my friends children playing raceways on it, whilst vigourisly moving their planes, trains, and automobiles all over it. It could also turn into a miniture city. With various lego towers, houses and skyscrapers accompaning the number of possible games and toys you can play on it!
I think I would see Duplo farm animals spread out enjoying life while tractors and trucks come and go often!
With Fletcher starting to take his first steps this rug would provide a lot more padding during a tumble than our floorboards. However there will be lots of dodging and weaving as it will be covered in cars & toot toots!
My daughter adores water so I can see her swimming with her seahorse on this fantastic rug.
The prefect foundation for a building blocks extravaganza
I have been dreaming of a rug for our 11 month old son’s room, so he can sit and play without being on hard floorboards. Thank you playways for making my day :)
my girls would combine their tiny dolls with their cars I’to create a busy scene
Vroom vroom go the cars on the jarrah floors
Scritching and scratching and bumping into doors
The Playways rug would provide a perfect car rally scene
And stop our floors being destroyed and everything in between!
I would expect my son’s toys most likely duplo blocks spread all over it as this rug would be the centrepiece in his room.
I can see my girls playing ‘schools’ on the playways rug and re-enacting preschool news day. I can just imagine miss 4 rounding up all her dolls and teddys on the rug for question time!
I’ll get my hands on some of those fluffy dice people use to hang from their rear view mirrors. I think we will then see a modified version of hopscotch with all of Chloe’s teddy’s and dolls!
I envision The Wizard of Oz being played out over and over with the kids & their toys singing their way along The Yellow Brick Road
I can see my little man laying on his tummy, his face full of concentration as he explores every crevice woven into Playways’ rug, measuring each shape until he decides the best way to enjoy his magic carpet.
This is it, sitting there in all it’s glorious design and colours! The rug that I’ve spent hours looking for our one year old daughter’s new indoor play yard. We are teaching her that girls can play with both dolls, building blocks AND trucks. Not too girly, not too boyish. Great for play dates. Just Perfect. Her imagination will run wild!
My 2 and 4 year old would play cars, trucks and trains on the blue mat. The road would be interchangeable for all vehicles. Kate Edwards
I think my son would spend his time trailing up and down the pathways with his fingers.. he finds patterns utterly fascinating.
With little Miss I could imagine a disaster zone with things flying in to the water with the sound of ‘oh no’ followed by a great big laugh.
My one year old little girl would be absolutely smitten with the fabulous colours!! She’s a very tactile little one and fascinated with everything she touches. I’m sure our new bub due in June would also appreciate!
Farm with a barnyard as my son loves playing with his little animals and barn he has
Definitely cars, trucks, boats, and planes!
I would expect to see toy cars moving along Old McDonald’s farm from my little bubba
This is just perfect for my grandaughter to play with all the boys in the neighbourhood. She is the only girl with 6 other toddler boys. She can now invite them over and “borrow” all their cars, trucks, aeroplanes, buses and taxis and they can “borrow” this funky cool mat!
Our little girl has just started pointing and babbling so it will be hilarious watching & hearing the squeals of delight as she points to all the flowers and houses on that gorgeous play mat! She’ll also try to put her play people in the houses and boat.
With rolling to come there will be touching of texture, looking at wonderful colour, plenty of dribbling and smiling. And of course Dad on the side lines with the lego, Mr Potato Head a cars; road testing of course!
I love the aqua because it’s like the lake nearby
Oooh I thin this rug represents our path to playtime Nirvana! Most likely the path to fairy school for our almost 4 yo and her baby sister. Perhaps I just might get that hot cuppa each day while my fairies hone their skills!
I could see my boys playing with their cars and trains on this beautiful rug.
My train obsessed toddler would definitely use this as a scenic train line. Every surface of our house is now a train track! ;)
Jordan Carlson – i would expect to see my partner and son on it more then anything else
Cars, Cars and more cars are all I see being driven on this gorgeous mat…….
I think the Playways Rug will be the perfect setting for an exotic food extravaganza fit for a King (well my son anyway!)! He adores MKR, so to pretend play on this generous mat, allows for lots of fine dining, dirty dishes and saucepans!
Fun, laughter, happiness, entertainment and joy as my little man explores the mat … endless possibilities for stimulating his creativity and play!
I expect to see loving scences and sweet memories that I’ll cherish forever on the Playways rug – lots of mummy hugs and cuddles, daddy play tussles and wrestles: such scences that will disappear as soon as junior outgrows the rug (and us!)
I envisage many wonderful memories to be had and shared on this rug…playing, cuddles and many many kisses! A perfect rug to absorb all the love!
unfortunately i would be seeing cars all over this rug…maybe it can make my DAUGHTER playing with cars cool?!
My 3 girls are mad about playing dress up! So, this fabulous rug will see an colourful array of dazzling jewels, sparkly dresses, pretty shoes and sweet hairbands – hopefully no lipstick or nail polish spills though!
My little girl will play dolls, doctors, barbies, tea parties. My little man will play cars and soldiers when he’s bigger but for now will just drool and roll around. Together we’ll cuddle, tickle, laugh and read books.
2 little boys with this rug in their bedroom = 4 cheesing smiles (2 parents and 2 kids, one with teeth and the other with more gums than teeth) !!!
This Rug has come just at the right time! My kids are puzzle crazy, and at the moment, we keep losing pieces and the puzzles keep falling apart. So the Playways Rug would be the ideal foundation for our ‘puzzleapalooza’!
The scene I expect to see most is a smiling boy, safe from bumps and lumps as he enjoys rolling and tumbling with his teddy on this beautiful rug. It would make his play space much friendlier to physical explorations than the current tiles.
OCTONAUTS will definitely be patrolling in all that water with Miss 4, and Miss 1 would love HOOT on the rug to explore.
My eyes would love to see Barbie hop-scotching her way through the bedroom!
His little soft cow, Moo-Moo.
He is glued to his hand, LOVES him to bits!!
A top hat wearing t-rex would thunder down the winding streets for tea and scones at the home of the break dancing mermaids. Playways rugs support creative play that is perfect for an imaginative lad like ours!
I see my big boy driving his tractors on the farm and my little boy drooling all over it. :)
I foresee this mat covered in books. One to read at the park… one to read near the flower garden… one to read on the boat… We’ll have to get a tree book caddy from Urban Baby to match!
My little boy and girl would have hours of fun on the Aqua rug from Urban Baby. Cars, trains. planes, ambulances, fire engines would fly along the lovely soft plush roads on their way to those charming little houses
I can imagine all the farmyard animals and barn set up on it and tractors being pushed along the track!
I would love to trains, planes and automobiles but its more likely to be a cloth bummed bub trying desperately to escape his nappy
I’m sure there’d be dinosaurs, drinking at the shore,
Cars and trains on the pathway, and probably so much more.
There’d be spiderman in the boats, with room for batman too,
And lego buildings on the lawn, with a teaset set for two!
My son and daughter would love the aqua rug. Farm animals and cars. I can just see them now :)
I expect to see DollyTown come alive with cars and little people, my little girls imagination fired up and keeping her warm as the winter months set in.
At the moment we’re still on baby toys, but this rug will be perfect for whatever comes next,- whether it be cars, trains or animals.
my little pony 1-2-3,
so many ponys that i can see,
my twin girls would be happy as can be,
with a sea side play ground for each pony.
It would become a motorbike race track in no time!
I think a fairytale world would be gorgeous on the rugs.
I can just picture my 6 month old daughter learning to crawl on this mat – she loves to reach for things and play with different textures!
I can already picture it: cars stranded in the lake with every available rescue vehicle, especially ones with the best, ie the loudest, sirens ready to help fish the cars out of the water :-)
What a beautiful playmat – it opens the gateway for a world of imaginative play and provides a colourful safe haven for my bubs to learn to roll and crawl.
A road for toy cars,But what about a plan of a house, so my little girl could be quiet like a mouse!
Bub learning to crawl on it, very interested in the patterns & colours, & something comfy to play with her toys on.
My son has become obsessed with all things that roll
So I think you’d see lots of car races taking its toll
Maybe the odd little farm being created
Either way it will be nice to see him elated!
We’d see all sorts of scenes on this gorgeous rug at our house with our 4 cherubs ~ cars, dolls, trains, diggers, dinosaurs, the works!
Definately the unisex Farm.
I hope to see a mat with cars & trucks on the road and ducks in the water, not sudocrem handprints that are currently on the carpet of my 18 month old nephew’s room – Julie-Anne Barclay
With the chaos that seems to reign in our house, I expect to see a full on pile-up!
Everything from the thomas the tank trains, to all the diggers, to all the animals. Play time will be endless and limited only by my two boys imagination!
I expect to see the cars and trains all lined up to go on their daliy adventure, most often its to the shop, but occasionally they stop at the farm
Currently, my dd 5 and ds 3 sit on the tiny rug in their room and yell “Bonpapa, take us on a magic carpet ride!” I don’t think he could pull them through the house on this, but I could see it being the ultimate destination where fairies and firemen explore new worlds and have cups of tea and stories at the end of the day.
telling us what scene you expect you’ll see the most upon the Playways rug.
I can see the Playways rug being used to recreate a miniature version of our daily walk! We’ll have to add in a few miniature dogs and other babies, though…
Otherwise, I expect the scene I’ll see the most on the Playways rug is contemporary art – drool, mushed up food, discarded toys… You get the picture!
The rug would definitely become a race track with little toy cars zooming around, for my husband and little boy!
There would be Diamond Head emerging from the water ready to attack Dora the Explore, just had he has his grasp on her backpack, lightning mcqueen zooms down the path with Ben 10 in the passenger seat!! saving Dora from the evil grasps of diamond head. Dora throws a big party at her seaside house to thank Ben 10 and Lightning McQueen, all the gang are there – the smurfs, buzzlightyear, woody, the la la loopsy gang and our friend and your winnie the pooh!! Just as party gets underway a masked man appears from the shadows…..who could it be???!! Daddy!!! home from work!!
I would love to see my little 6 month old rug rat creeping and commando crawling along the pathway!
I expect to see a little farm built on the mat
My daughter loves taking her dogs (both real and not) for walks. So I think that they would get paraded around the rug.
Definitely car racing for starters, by both my boys (1 and 5) enjoying some great tummy time together! And inventing new board games – oops, RUG games! with Mommy :-D
This rug would be a fantastic edition to my little man’s bright imagination with comes coming down the slide and landing safely on the rug before being whisked off to save the people of the city or off to be washed and repaired in the garage
Organised chaos. No… make that disorganised chaos (of the very best kind)!
At my house it would look like something from a beatles album cover. It may include an elephant, a stingray, miss piggy in a car, farm animals & two near naked babies!
I can see my boys building train tracks and bridges on this great mat
Traffic Jams – No doubt our little one will be so spoilt with presents of cars, it’ll be the only way to utilise all those precious gifts :)
It’ll be a scene with chickens, cows and farm animals for my lil charles.
What a fantastic backdrop for imaginative play – I could see my little one setting up her ponies for all sort of adventures on one of these.
I see my bub trying to roll over while drooling all over the rug and then giggling
The Playways rug would have animals on the farm, little people on the boat, dolls in their prams on the road and one happy little girl playing on it!
-Christina Keeble
his fav ladybug toy, and no doubt drool!
This will save the floorboards and maybe keep the cars all in one place. No more tripping over for the clutzy mum
I see a fairy fancing in the garden, a sailor sailing the world, plenty of bumps and spills, a car ride for the trip home for a hot chocolate and a biscuit, cause there’s no place like home.
Melita Kemp
If this rug was in our house, it would create a whole other world for my kids to create.
Car races, train trips and deliveries, a town for woody, buzz and the gang and possibly even a game involving dice and some randon item as a token.
I love that it’s not set as anything in particular… lets the childrens minds run wild.
Mr 3 would surely play away, all day,
in his newly created kiddies hideaway,
if only he had this beautiful rug, for his trains to chugga chug and his tow trucks to lug!
I see my little girl teaching her baby brother or sister to drive within the lines!
Imaginative play with laughter and joy is what I think I woud see. With Mum and/or Dad playing alongside. A rug for the whole family
i expect to see a scene that reflects utter chaos!!
Master 4 would be entertained for hours driving his many beloved cars and trains on this rug.
There will be a teddy bear’s picnic, and a car crash too;
A police chase, and probably some animals escape from the zoo!
My two year old miss would be rocking it old school and making a hopscotch game out of it for her dollys!!!
I can see Mr one with his john deere tractor brooming around the play rug!
Farm setting during the war! The kids have all the farm animals from when I was little and all their Dad’s plastic army men – which are constantly being set up all over the place.
Perfect for my little men to re-enact their favourite car trip to Grandad’s farm with animals and vehicles of all kinds.
* I see plenty of bubby vomit, Vegemite hand marks and milk all over this rug but.. mostly I see a GREAT TIME for kids!!
My nearly 3 year old will spend hours building a train with her blocks, to take the Pontipines to ‘Grandma’s House’.
I can see my little boy pushing his cars and trucks around on this mat. It would look fab in our play room too!
I expect to see a learning curve in sharing!! Cars, trains and chuggington will get a fair run for their money. They will have some car crashes which to them is so much fun!!!
I’d expect to see my little boy revelling and rolling from one end of the mat to the other – in a house with wooden floors it would be a novelty to be enjoyed itself!!
Little towns and many cars is what I would expect to see, letting their imagination run wild with this awesome playmat in 3D.
Many scenes of laughter, love & learning.
I expect to see farm animals all over our boy’s rug because he just loves animals.
My two toddler boys are obsessed with trains (naturally) and they like to play a game called ‘train coming’ – I can see them setting up their trains on this mat to collect their favourite passengers, usually animals an stones.
Chaos. Absolute chaos. The underlying game will vary everyday – racing cars, trains or roadworks, and initially the cars and trains will all be polite to each other. But there will be a big “Oh Ohh”, and then the chaos descends….
Oops needs a full name, not KJ
My animal-mad little girl will love creating paddocks of toy horses, cows and sheed happily grazing.
I see 8 week old Chelsea having tummy time in comfort on a rug that she will get many years of use and play from in the future!
I can see my little girl setting up dozens of plush toys on this colourful rug, imagining to go on a big excursion with them.
This a cool little rug,
will look great in the lounge.
Dear daughter will love,
pushing her ponies around!
I see my little tacker moving through the rug as he moves through playtime. First carrying his baby bear, then moving onto pushing his dumptruck, followed by playtime with his action figure, then followed by his action hero costume and last but not least, dress ups in daddys uniform!
Miss 3 would no doubt line up her many plastic animals, fun for hours each day.
I picture my Captain’s enormous pirate ship battling the wild shores in search for treasure, capturing and forcing Daddy to walk the plank (whilst he peeps at the Newspaper) and Mummy trying to get Wii Fit on the Playways Rug simultaneously (hopefully we all fit!)
Alex and Charlotte will have cars travelling to Nanas and Grandfathers on the road and crocodiles and dinosaurs in the water, because there’s monsters in deep water.
A baby battle between my nephew’s convoy of trains and my neice’s baby soft toy collection.
We would have an endless supply of plastic fantastic all trevelling along the rug and swimming in the water :)
I think my niece would have to fight off her train enthusiast daddy in order to have the rug to herself! Unless she could keep him busy by asking him to build a model train-set around the outside for all of her stuffed toys to enjoy!?
i believe i will see SO MANY thomas the tank engines spread everywhere!!!! we got over 100 engines at christmas so there will definately be heaps!! i hope there is room for the babies !! my little boy and princess are totally obsessed with toot toots!!
Seeing my son roll oer for the first time, playing with his first toys, watching him learn new exciting things
I would see a myriad of toy vehicles cruising the mat’s ‘streets’ – ambulances, fire trucks, police cars and trucks! A great sight!!
On the rug would be my 19 month old son’s car collection, he is obsessed by anything with wheels! Mind you this includes a sheep and a cow on wheels – bad Mum, I’m sure he is going to be disappointed when he finds out they DON’T have wheels. (Hanging my head in shame at my bad parenting).
I can see this all bent up to create hills and Master 3 with all his cars, trains and people playing nicely at first before the typical smashing and crashing begins. Boys !!
i could see my sons being able to play for the first time setting a nice little farm with their cows and sheep and horses and tractors and we cant forget bob the builder building a big shed down the back also i can see a few meal times and snack times sitting on that mat nice little inside family picnics in the lounge room :-)
My two grandsons aged 3 and 4, born the same day a year apart, would be racing cars around the track and rolling around on the mat giggling at each other. Can see it so clearly. Their new baby sister due a week before their Bday will get to play different games on it ……or will she?
My little person, playing with her Little People. Setting up the farm and transporting her animals to and fro along the road.
I expect to see scenes of laughter as we all play together as a family – knocking over towers, wrestle time, kisses, fluffers! Lots of laughter!!!
I’d expect nothing more than my son and as many toys as he could pile on it.
oh the places this magical rug might take my little boy… up the misty hillsides and down the rushy glens…. he would constantly cover it with his bits and bobs… what a joy!
My husband is a transport planner…. this would be perfect for him to share wiuth his new born son : )
I see raspberries blown, giggles escaping little mouths, and biiiig family cuddles.
I think my little fellow will *love* rolling around on this soft, colourful rug – perfect for learning to crawl, especially since most of the flooring throughout the house is floorboards! Thank you for the opportunity.
Farm definitely, little button is obsessed with all animals and their noises!
Fiona Cullen: My little guy would love taking a drive on this rug…he could go visit his friends, or imagine the grass under his feet as he goes off road, pick a flower for mummy, then escape out to sea by yacht before finishing off his rug adventure by having a snooze under a tree! Love love love it!
I see, a great looking playroom, a little boy who has hours of fun his using his great imagination with cars and trucks and inviting his friends over to play games with his beautiful play mat.
At 9 months old the colours, will really catch his eye,
Then later on so many games, the limit is sky high.
Taking turns and counting games when little one learns to share,
Up ’til then a soft place to land and play without a care.
A trip in poppy’s boat. An imaginary trip my father and daughter create with toys in my lounge room. A dream land for her and poppy. :)
What a brilliant piece of camouflage for my little darling’s Urban Jungle. Soft on little hands and knees, easy on the eye.
My twin daughters practicing ‘broom broom’ ing their cars and ‘moo moo’ ing their wooden cows on the rug, with me giggling in background. I’d have to find them some little boats to ‘row row’ !!!
Definitely Thomas the Train track and Thomas engines zooming about.
What a gorgeous rug for me to sit there and watch my boys play on. I can see them with their farm animals out in the paddoks, the tractor chugging away on the track and their rubber ducky swimming in the stream. Great colours on the rugs mean they will match my decor too.
I suspect it will involve my 3 year old daughter setting up a very complicated scenario with her dolls and toys and her 1 year old brother coming and bulldozing through it all!!! ;)
Wow, looks perfect to sit in front of the barbie doll house, what an exciting front yard :)
How exciting to watch a childs imagination grow with beautiful rug
I can see my little Gracie playing with her dollies and my little Waynie boy being able roll around and crawl on this rug….so many memories will be made on this rug from my two ill munchkins
toddler proofing 101..fabulous coloured decor to suit toddlers room$229, beautiful rug to cover baby stains on carpet $229, occupying the toddler for hours on end….? PRICELESS!!! I HAVE to have this!!! Please oh pretty please?
My little girl will be wriggling, crawling and tumbling all over it pretending to be our cat. Then they will probably have a nap there together.
Master Two would create a zoofari, with the animals roaming free and frolicking in the water.
Ohhh 1yr old matty and I would be lying on it in the morning trying to wake up (currently lie on bare floor). Then play with his fav truck till tummy wrestling time. Ending the night with a story and cuddle..
My girls would be having tea parties at the dools house whilst they’re fishing in the river and driving their dolly’s cars up and down the path with lots and lots oh giggles… All at the same time!
There will be dragons and castles and Princes rescuing Princesses. Underwater kingdoms with mermaids and sea horses. Cities with skyscrapers, trains and planes. People making journeys from one house to another along the winding path (sometimes through dangerous woods).Mostly I see little bottoms in the air, heads down in their imaginary land, oblivious to the real world around!
Loving the look of these gorgeous rugs! Perfect for curling up on after a long day of playing on…
My little man would love this beautiful rug as he’s just
Starting to roll about and he dosent have a rug aNd we have no carpet so would be lovely to win for him. He’d have all his chew toys and learning toys all over it ;)
My four little boys
Would lay on the rug to play their toys …
We’d most like it in aqua
*insert something witty that rhymes with aqua*
My boys will be creating worlds where trains and cars can drive on water and stuffed animals become sleeping pillows.
I’d be finding my clean washing as my 15 more loves to ‘help’ fold it up and put it away…
We will likely have veges and farm animals jumping onto trains with king rabbity ruling kindly over his kingdom.
Our lil’ boy will be having car rallies with a few bosting trips thrown in for good measure :)
I would expect to see various cars and trucks on the rug, plus a variety of foods (rice crackers, sultanas, fruit) all mashed in! Not ideal but realistic!
Even though my daughter is only 4 weeks old, this rug would be perfect for watching her learn to turn, tumble and crawl. Then i cant wait to see her play with her blocks, dolls and animals on the rug and maybe even turn it into a big game board
My little girl is only 7 months and just started crawling so at the moment I see her just feeling all the different textures. In the future I can see her playing with all her soft teddies playing picnics and tea parties
A Leggo Eco-city!
Each square filled with a different toy – cars, dinosaurs, astronauts, fish,…you name it! All marching one by one on a new adventure. Then sailing in her teacups to the join the dolls and teddy bears picnicking on the lawn. Finally there will be cries of “help help” from the toys stranded on the block “mountains” and our 3 year old superhero will run around the room on the way to rescue each and every one. Endless fun :)
My 18 mth old would love to show his little brother of 5 mths how to drive the car around the mat. It would also be great to cover our floors which need a sand and varnish lol ;-)
I’m seeing my beautiful twin girls teaching their lil baby brother how to play cars and singing him songs and doing him drawings, i’d like to see this because at the moment it’s mummy’s rug that gets used for these activities lol
