Shangrila Activity Mat with Toy Arches

Kushies Zolo

Take tummy-time to a whole new level with this versatile play mat.

Our mom testers said:
"I can't get over this mat! The colors and textures are fantastic."

Why it's a winner:
This stylish activity mat is full of surprises: One side features stimulating, high-contrast black and white designs, while the reverse tickles the senses with colorful, lush fabrics. Our little explorers were especially drawn to the easily removable and interchangeable developmental toys that Velcro onto the mat and hang from the arches, making each new play session a little different from the last.

Clever packaging with a built-in strap makes this product easy to store and tote. We recognize the price tag is high, but this mat is so versatile (and portable) that it just may be worth the splurge.

Suggested retail price:
$119.95
