We are having a joint babies 1st birthday party for the babies from our antenatal group, it’s so lovely seeing them all growing up together, and we decided to do a “secret santa” style birthday pressies for them all. We had done it at Christmas and it worked really well and was lovely seeing them all opening their wee parcels together :)
Emmie and I got her wee friend Oliver to get a gift for and rather than buy him something I thought we would make him a wee road playmat so he could play with all his cars on it for years to come.

| I made a similar play mat with a town theme a couple of years ago for my cousin’s wee boy and he absolutely loved his so I’m hoping that Oliver will have many years of fun playing with his one. I did consider just doing the same mat again but I found lovely blue chevron fabric in our local fabric shop so instead decided to go for an emergency services theme. It definitely had to have a fire station, hospital and police station and I thought we could squeeze a wee helicopter pad in there too. |  |
I love having a new project to get my teeth into and when it’s for a very special little boy it makes it all the more fun.
Here’s a pic of the finished playmat kindly sent to me by Oliver’s mummy with all his wee cars ready for playing on it, I think it turned out great and most importantly Oliver and his mummy loved it :)
