The Papoose Felted Duck Playmat is handmade from 100% wool materials and is accented with hand-embroidered artwork. The whimsical playmat is designed to be non-toxic, boasting no harsh plastics or rubbers. The product's handmade details nod to the past and pay homage to the arts and crafts movement.
Some notable elements of the Papoose Felted Duck Playmat include a pond, heart-shaped rocks and removable felt ducks, adding another element of whimsy to the creativity-encouraging room accessory.
Designed to "support sensory and language development," this handmade playmat is designed in Australia and handcrafted in Nepal. Priding itself in its handmade practices, Papoose joins forces with a Fair Trade women's co-op in Nepal to create each piece and helps support female creatives in the region with each product sold.
