weeLove: How About a Hug (for Your Rug)?

Between snack time and craft time, your rug is a landing pad for spills and art supplies. Thanks to Tinsletot, what happens on your rug doesn’t have to stay on your rug. These adorable play mats slip right over it, giving little ones a cozy, colorful place to play.

Tinseltot was created by a mom who wanted a soft, stylish mat that looks like a rug, without the high maintenance. Consider it your magic carpet—one that’s durable and machine washable (a win-win). From “Tea Party” to “Duck, Duck, Flamingo,” the colors and styles are bright and cheerful. Pro tip: slip on a Tinseltot during parties to protect carpet from foot traffic. It also comes in handy for houses with pets. The cover stays flat instead of scrunching up when rambunctious dogs want to “help” build blocks.

Covers can be used on their own (sans rug), or toted along for a day at the park or beach. They come in two sizes: 5×8 ($149.99) and 4×6 ($129.99). Better yet, all designs will soon be available as a padded mat, perfect for the messiest—er “most creative” projects. Made in LA with love (and rigorous safety testing!), we’re floored by this genius invention.
