Little One
Description
We would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people, the Traditional custodians of the land we gather on, and pay our respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging.
Lou Martin, contemporary Aboriginal artist from Gubbi Gubbi Country encapsulates motherhood into an exclusive piece of artwork.
The artwork named "Little One" is a story that reminds us of the wonders of motherhood.
Take a moment to read the story of the artwork below.
I have loved you from the moment I knew you were coming; every flutter and movement you made to remind me you were there. You are unique and unlike anyone else, and that’s where your power is: you are you.
I love you more than the number of stars you could ever count in the sky, hotter than the sun, to the moon and back and beyond.
See the world and experience Mother Earth’s beauty. Remember though, we all share the same sun and moon, no matter where you are. Don’t forget to look up.
Care for Country and look after the trees, plants and flowers. Take a moment to stop and enjoy them.
Show compassion to animals and people alike. We each are souls and share the Earth, walking beside one another. Be fierce, but always choose kindness.
Life is a journey with many roads and different paths. There is no one right way. Be like water though and adapt to each new phase.
Make connections with people, check in, reach out and lift up. The power of conversation and connection is immeasurable. Always know you come home when you need to feel love.
Take it slow, Little One, life is beautiful.

FAQ
What are your play mats made from?
Our play mats are made from a Polyurethane foam. The material is non-toxic, light and biodegradable, yet durable. It is BPA and PVC free. They have passed European Toy Standard testing (EN 71) which makes them one of the safest children's play mats on the market!

What can I clean my play mat with?
We recommend using water and a clean soft cloth. Should a deeper clean be desired premixing a conservative amount of a natural, gentle dishwashing detergent with warm water is advised
Do not use any harsh chemicals, spray and wipes or baby wet ones as this will damage the outer layer of your play mat. It will remove the colour coating and appear as a white mark.
Can I use my play mat outside?
Of course! However, do not leave your play mat in direct sunlight as this will deteriorate the design. If you do take your play mat outside regularly, expect a slight discolouration to occur. It has been designed for indoor use but can be enjoyed on the odd occasion outdoors.
Are the play mats suitable for pets. I'm worried they will damage it?
For most households with pets they can be utilised as intended wihtout hindrence from your four legged friends. Just like most, if not all, the baby items in your house, they will not withstand destructive pets. If your pet is likely to urinate on the play mat, we believe this isn't a product for you, as we can not guarantee a clean, safe surface for your baby. The play mats are made fom foam and so pets that are likely to chew, claw or play tug of war with the mat will damage the item.
My play mats edges are curled, when will it flatten?
Once unpacked, the play mats edges naturally curl as it has been rolled tightly and packaged. It may also have some crease lines but rest assure it does settle flat. To make the process a little quicker here are a couple of handy tips you may like to try!
Use the mat on the reverse side (curling down) until the mat settles. This can take some time, using it whilst face down will help soften the foam.
Roll the play mat, tightly in the reverse direction to how it was packaged, use the elastic straps provided to hold it in position and leave it over night or longer, if possible. You may like to use two people to roll the family size in order to get a tight roll particularly on the first edge.
I'm not in love with my play mat, may I refund or exchange?
Yes of course! We want our customers to be happy with their purchase and so we offer 100% money back guarantee on our products. If you are returning for an exchange, shipping costs will incur. To read more, follow the link to our Warranty, Refunds and Returns page.
Important: A refund is not possible prior to shipment however, a change of design is accepted if time permits before dispatch. A refund is not permitted for delayed shipping.
If I purchase two will they align to create one large mat?
Yes absolutely however, we highly recommend purchasing two at the same time as slight colour variations do occur with age and between batch productions.
My Play mat is new but has creases on its surfaces. Is this a fault?
Once unrolled you may notice creases on the play mats surface. This is due to being tightly rolled for packaging and is completely normal. In no time the creases will disappear. Use of the play mat will encourage this process.
My play mat is new and has a an indendation on the surface of the mat. Is this normal?
The small indentation is caused from the seam on the Mikro' elastic strap and is very common. This will "pop" out in no time at all!
My play mat appears to have discoloured edges and surface, is this normal?
PU is a biodegradable, non toxic foam and it is within its nature to discolour slightly. We refrain from using colour stabilisers to ensure our play mats are free from harsh chemicals. You may notice slight yellowing along the play mats edges and in areas where there may be white, this is considered normal behaviour for our eco friendly foam. Heat and exposure to sunlight will encourage this process. Leave the play mat out of direct sunlight when not in use and refrain from using it outside in extreme temperatures. This process is more apparent on the lighter coloured play mats.

Misleading
This mat is extremely small—definitely not suitable for two babies, as the description misleadingly suggests. I knew the dimensions before purchasing, but the way it was marketed made it seem much more practical. My baby is only 4 months old and already rolling off it which is so disappointing, so it’s not fit for purpose. The shipping was a nightmare; I had to email to find out where my order was, and $57 for shipping is outrageous given how tiny and damaged the box was on arrival. Very disappointed.

Hi Kristin, Thats upsetting to hear! Did you purchase the 2m by 1.4m Family size play mat?
Gorgeous!
Absolutely love our new mat, it is such a beautiful design and we use it all day every day.
Fantastic
The design printed on this playmat is beautiful and so unique. I also love how comfortable it is, the large size and how easy it is to clean.
We love Mikro so much this is our third mat
Mikro is such a great product! We bought a mat for our daughter when she was a baby, then the grandparents bought one and since we've moved into a new house we thought we'd update our old mat as it's looking a bit stained. So much padding and beautiful designs.
Absolutely stunning design and quality playmat
Easy to unbox and super soft and comfortable for the kids to play. Really nice size and the design is stunning. I love its reversible too.
