Let’s bring some gardening fun indoors! The washable Veggie Garden rug offers a gardening role-play activity for kids while avoiding all the mess! More like a plush cotton play mat than a simple rug, its surface conceals little pockets where canvas veggies may be ‘planted’. Its even-toned design, in the natural beige of the cotton fiber itself, combines various pile heights and multiple stitching techniques –cut pile, loop, and chenille– to achieve a mixed-texture finish, while its uneven contour lends an organic look to the rectangular shape. It comes complete with a drawstring pouch containing 15 pieces of handcrafted cotton canvas veggies, combining carrots, radishes, and kale leaves. These can be placed in the rug’s pockets for some gardening make-believe fun. It all comes packed in a practical, illustrated cotton tote bag that also serves for storing the rug.
