I was recently asked where I found my splat mat... for the uninitiated it's the piece of Oil Cloth under Little O's high chair stopping the food hitting the carpet! And a marvellous job it does of it too! I decided I'd share my favourites here.I have this one (left), which is obnoxiously bright pink but I was too impatient to look for something 'better' online at the time. I got it from my favourite store - Giggle. It's by Mimi the Sardine and it really is lovely. It comes in a blue with airplanes and a cute white & jungle theme. I'd have bought the jungle one if it had been in stock! It is organic cotton too which is a bonus!
From there I discovered the range of splat/splash mats Sugarbooger have. They have everything from the adorable, unisex, modern and un-the-baby-has-taken-over-every-inch-of-the-house-like Vintage Alphabet that led me there to the very cute prehistoric range, lady bugs, fairies, the list really does go on! Check out the designs on their website.
For example... There's a splat mat, table top splat mat, divided suction cup plate, silverware set, sippy cup, bibs and finally closet dividers...
Of course the most customisable option would be to make your own. And it's a project even I could tackle - buy a metre or so of the oil cloth fabric that best suits your decor and you're done. But if you ask me that takes ALL the fun out of all the matching fun from Sugarbooger!
Oh I forgot to mention - the best bit about the mats is that you can either wipe them down or throw them in the washing machine. Genius.
Happy shopping!

I LOVE the alphabet art! I may have to steal this idea for our nursery. I love the look of the laser-cut birch wood but had been looking at mobiles. Then I realized that a plain brown mobile is probably not very stimulating or interesting for the baby! So this satisfies my craving for laser-cut birch and I can choose a colourful mobile instead!
