I Knew It When

I am excited to see that the new Skip Hop Play Spot is hitting stores this August, since I took part in a focus group about its development several months ago (thanks R.!) No longer will moms everywhere have to lay those ugly ABC foam mat pieces across their living room floors. Skip Hop's appealing new soft surface playmat is made of interlocking pieces of EVA foam, so you can create just the size and dimensions you want. There are 3 great color combos: pink/brown, brown/gold, and brights. It's $79 for a 20-tile Play Spot set, and you can pre-order it now at Amazon.com for shipping in early August.
