Little Wigwam - www.littlewigwam.com

Bought 6 as its free post, all very nice but shame they dont have a UK map. Flags mat is best one as it has hundreds of places and lists capital cities too, most of which Ive never heard of but the kids love asking where they are (who knows where to find Gabon?!).

With Little Wigwam you know what you are getting - quality placemats for kids that have an educational angle to them. They don't sell anything apart from placemats (which is a shame as their cartoon characters and designs are very cute and would look great on a variety of kids stuff!), but their website is excellent - clear, concise with high-quality large images and no annoying ads!

I ordered an Alphabet mat for my daughter and a World Map for my step-son - I placed the order on a Wednesday lunchtime and they arrived Thursday morning, fab service! The mats were well protected in a cardboard envelope. The kids find them fun and interesting, I have already recommended them to my friends and plan to buy some more to give as presents!
