Nominate your favourite charity for the Totter + Tumble Play Matters Campaign

Totter + Tumble Playmatters

Updated on

This December Totter + Tumble are gifting the places and spaces that have been a gift to you and your little one this past year.

For 24 days they will give a mat a day away to children's hospices or charities that have helped look after your babies this year.

This is all part of the Totter and Tumble Play Matters Campaign, which has gifted over 100playmats to charities since it launched.

A safe place to play

In September 2018 Totter + Tumble launched the #playmat_ters campaign, donating Totter + Tumble playmats to do a little good by easing the life, routine and worries of those caring for children who need somewhere safe to play.

The concept originated at the same time that Totter+ Tumble was being formed. After a conversation with a friend, who had commented that the lack of a hygienic play space for her crawling baby to use during a hospital stay had added to their anxiety and the stress for their baby, the seed for the idea was sown.

All of the donations made so far have come as a result of parents getting in touch with a suggestion.

It may be where you work, where you or your family have been looked after, or a place you support.
