The newest addition to the favourite BO & KO Māori Inspired Playmat collection - a cherished taonga (treasure) for your precious pēpi.

Encourage unrestricted movement and foster essential developmental milestones with our thoughtfully designed playmat. Providing a safe and cushioned environment, it allows your pēpi to strengthen muscles, refine motor skills and enhance coordination. From rolling over to sitting up, crawling, and eventually walking, our playmat safeguards against bumps and falls, nurturing your little ones growth journey. Surrounding your pēpi with their cultural heritage from birth fosters a deep connection to their roots and instills a sense of pride and belonging.

Behind the design: 'Ō Whakatō'

Whakatō; to plant, to cause to conceive, to fertilise.

This design depicts the journey taken from the planting of a seed, to the harvesting that is done in our māra, in our moana and in our awa. We see the process in many differing ways in Te Ao Māori including the conceiving, the birth and the growing of our tamariki mokopuna.

Versatile and reversible with a neutral backing for seamless integration into any space. For your convenience, each playmat comes in a drawstring bag, ensuring hassle-free storage and portability.
