Because floor time should feel as comforting as being wrapped in your favorite blanket.

What’s Included
Organic Wool Sheep Play Mat & Nursery Rug
A sculpted sheep-shaped mat with a plush pillow head that doubles as a cozy rest spot. The natural wool fibers create a soft, gently springy surface that supports tummy time, crawling practice, and floor play.
Ethically Made, Story-Rich Craftsmanship
Each piece is hand-knit in Kenya by women artisans using locally sourced organic fibers and eco-friendly dyes. Your purchase supports fair wages, sustainable farming, and the work of over 200 spinners and farmers in the local economy.
Why Parents Love It
Safe, Non-Toxic, and Gentle on Skin
Crafted from certified 100% organic wool and colored with non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes, Sawyer offers a clean, chemical-free surface that feels soft and breathable against baby’s delicate skin.
Made for Tummy Time and Everyday Play
Perfect for supervised tummy time, early rolling, gentle stretching, and quiet snuggle sessions, this mat helps define a special “play zone” on your nursery or living room floor. The plush pillow head gives babies a comfy, supportive spot to rest between wiggles.
Handmade with Real Purpose
Every rug supports Kenana Knitters, a community-driven initiative that provides meaningful income for rural Kenyan women. Your baby’s play mat becomes part of a much bigger story of empowerment, education, and opportunity for hundreds of families.
Soft Statement for Thoughtful Nurseries
Sawyer’s simple, neutral sheep design adds personality without overwhelming your decor. It pairs beautifully with modern, Scandinavian, neutral, or nature-inspired nursery themes.
Truly One-of-a-Kind
Because each piece is lovingly handmade, slight variations in knit texture or color shading are not flaws—they are the marks of individual craftsmanship, making your rug uniquely yours.
