[h4>Corinne Bradd has created an interactive, tactile playmat project to keep kids creatively engaged. From fluffy pompom bushes to neatly ordered flower beds, children will be spirited away in creative play for hours thanks to this magnificent mat. With only four steps, the project leaves plenty of time to let your own imagination veer into the weird and wacky – squiggly orange roads and spotty ponds anyone? Sketch out some ideas and colourways before you get started.
Top sewing tip
Gather little mounds of stuffing in certain areas of your mat to create skyscraper hills and bumpy roads, perfect for creating a thrilling road trip for toy cars.
