Water Play Mat - Whale
A fun water-filled play mat with fish and other underwater friends your child will love squishing and moving around with their hands.Â
When your little one begins their journey towards rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and eventually walking, building strong back, neck and arm muscles is key.Â
It’s a great idea to give your baby something fun to play with during tummy time to encourage them to roll over, lift their upper body off the floor, and practise controlling that heavy little head – all in a natural, playful way.Â
This play mat is ideal for exactly that.Â
The soft fabric border adds extra comfort as your baby lies on the mat.
The mat comes empty. Just add ordinary tap water and pop the stopper back in. The sealed water pocket keeps all the splashy fun safely contained — no spills or soggy surprises.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
