The Tiny Love Treasure the Ocean™ XL Outdoor Picnic Mat is a spacious play mat that doubles as a picnic mat, giving your baby a soft, roomy spot to stretch, roll, do tummy time and settle into seated play wherever you spread it out. With its turquoise-blue aquarelle Treasure the Ocean™ design and five built-in activities, it turns any patch of garden, park or lounge floor into a magical underwater play environment your little one can enjoy on their own or alongside the family.
Because the activities are designed to adapt as your baby grows — from those early newborn days through to sitting up — it's a mat you'll reach for across several stages rather than a toy that's quickly outgrown. Much of the fun here is shared: it's an easy, comfortable place to lie down together, chat, sing and connect while baby explores.
Activities that grow with your baby
Five engaging features are woven into the ocean scene to invite exploration in different ways. A peek-a-boo crab gives baby something to focus on during tummy time and, later, becomes a hide-and-seek surprise. Satin ribbons add soft textures and visual interest, while crinkling and rattling sounds offer audio cues that encourage baby to reach, turn and move. The Treasure the Ocean™ illustrations bring vibrant sea creatures into view to spark curiosity.
How to use it through the stages
The mat is designed to suit your baby's changing abilities, and Tiny Love suggests different ways to play as they develop:
0+ months: bonding and communication
From the first days, use the mat as a comfortable spot to get close to your baby. Lie down next to your little one, cuddle, make eye contact, chat and sing, taking the chance to gradually get to know each other.
2+ months: tummy time and gross motor play
Encourage baby to spend a little longer on their tummy using the mat's activities. Draw their attention with the colourful sea creatures, or help them focus on the soft cotton ribbons and the crinkly activity crab.
Over 5 months: exploring object permanence
Once baby can sit up, let them explore the mat's features from a new perspective. Playing hide-and-seek with the peek-a-boo crab gives them a chance to discover the idea of object permanence as they rediscover the surprise hidden underneath.
What the play invites
- Gross motor play: The generous space and tummy-time prompts invite baby to lift, reach, roll and move.
- Sensory exploration: Satin ribbons, crinkle and rattle sounds and bold ocean graphics give plenty for little hands and eyes to discover.
- Imaginative and shared play: The underwater narrative and roomy layout encourage back-and-forth interaction between parent and baby.
