Blue Planet Safari Kids Washable Rug

Blue Planet Safari is a blue-ground world map crossed by safari animals, printed edge to edge on a play rug a child can actually use: sit on it, drive toy cars over it, learn from it. The drawing does the decorating and the teaching at once, so these end up in classrooms and daycares about as often as bedrooms.

The line runs 7 cuts, rectangles, from a 3x5 at $39.99 up to a 9x12 at $199.99. In practice: the quarter-inch pile keeps furniture level and lets the rug sit right at a doorway; the backing is non-slip rubber, which is what keeps a thin rug honest on hard floors; the machine is the deep-clean plan: cold wash, low tumble, done.
