Beanstalk Jungle Playmat

I got this as a present from my friend (well I spotted it on the Argos website and asked her to buy it when she asked what she could get for baby) and I loved it in theory - it is brightly coloured and the pictures on it are fantastic. I thought it would be great for tummy time. It is a square quilted mat washable mat with pictures of jungle animals on and 4 patches to stimulate senses with crinkly pieces for sound and hearing to capture baby's interest. The lion's head is raised off the mat in a soft material. However the reality was somewhat different and in all honesty it has barely been used. My LO preferred to lie on my bed for tummy time, or ...  Read the complete review

My nan bought this for my twins Christmas 2007, they were only 4weeks old and there was nothing really anybody could buy them but we thought this would be a good idea. She bought it from Argos for roughly £10, and it does say on the Argos website that colours and styles may vary, but they all generally aim to do the same thing. The mat is also suitable from birth. It is a soft, quilted square shaped mat, with a jungle theme. It is colourful, but not bright so not one to hurt your babies eyes in anyway, the colours are very gentle but at the same time noticeable. I thought this was lovely as they were just so young I imagined bright and bold colours may alarm ...  Read the complete review

The Jungle mat is a great play mat for your baby. You can buy it from Argos for £9.99. It is suitable from birth and measures 70cmsx70cms. The styles of the mat can vary. The jungle mat is very attractive and bright and is made out of very soft quilted material. There are pictures of different jungle animals on it, each picture has something for your child to touch or see on it. The animals on the one we have are: The Giraffe which has two ears that stick out when you touch them they make a crinkly noise. An elephant which has a floppy ear, which also makes a crinkly noise. Behind his ear there is a small circle plastic mirror which your ...  Read the complete review

We were given this second hand by a friend of ours when we had our son. It is a big piece of quilted fabric that you can lie on the floor for your baby to play on. It is intended to encourage tummy time and I am sure it does a little for this but to be honest, some babies like it on their tummies and some don't. Ours definitely does not and this mat does not encourage him to stay on his tummy any more than lying him straight on the carpet. It had bright colours and different textures on it, which can be fun for babies to explore. For that reason, I tend to just use his gym at home and not put this out. However, it really comes into its own when ...  Read the complete review

I bought this for my daughter when she was 4 months old. i had seen it in the argos catalogue for 12.99. I originally thought it would be a goo investment. I got it out the packaging and lay it on the floor. It looked lovely, it had 4 different parts to it, a squeak a crinckle sound, a mirror and a raised lions head which was made out of different materials to allow you child to learn his or hir firsts. In theory this was great. Now for the down sides, My child was too young to benifit from this because she could only lie on her back, when she was able to roll the mat ended up all bunched up because she would pull at it, the by the time she ...  Read the complete review
