This is a very pretty alternative to what you find in the shops. I have a Baby Einstein playmat which I swear by as it was great for making the bambino very active and vocal when she was barely 4 weeks old.

It’s made from soft, plush fabric that crinkles in different parts and also has a rattle and a squeaky heart to stimulate your babies senses. It has waterproof backing but it’s hand washable not machine washable. It has its own plastic travel case so you can take it out for visits…
