My Lullabug Driving Around Town Play Mat

My toddler is really into cars all of a sudden.  She likes to load all of her Little People toys into their bus and minivan and roll them around our living room.  This Driving Around Town Play Mat from My Lullabug has added a whole new dimension to her game.

Although she doesn’t quite understand the concept of staying on the road (and, unfortunately, running over stray Little People seems to be part of the fun), she definitely likes having an “official” surface for her vehicles to drive on.  The mat is perfect for all kinds of other cars as well.

As a parent, I love that it inspires imaginative play.  I also am very pleased with the fact that it folds up easily and can be tucked away when not in use.  This gives it a big advantage over roadway carpets, which I wouldn’t want in my living room.  It also wipes clean, which is a huge plus when young children are playing with it. Best of all, the product is made in the USA, so it is safe and free from sweat-shop labor.

You can purchase one of these mats for $28.95 at mylullabug.com. It comes with a tote bag made from recycled materials that is perfect for storing the mat, and which allows your little one to pack up a few cars and take them with him/her.  It would make a great holiday or birthday gift.
