Do you know the colors of the Rainbow? The perfect combination of cotton, fiber, wood, and paint create this whimsically delightful Color "Square". Can you point out the different colors? Name them? Find their opposites? Describe them? With this nifty, modern play mat you will inspire your little artist to better understand their colors and compliments in no time. The classic pinwheel design is a fun something tactile to hold onto while exploring the world of color. Matching the clothespins is a great way to teach beginning color concepts...and attaching those clothespins to the mat is a wonderful way to help develop fine motor skills: the tricky pincer muscle grip! A bit of modern art for your diaper bag, learning closet, or art center -- the Color Square is sure to make art pop in your home! or rather...Pop Art!
The Color Square measures approximately 7" x 7" square. It is made of a rainbow of cotton fabrics. A thick interfacing is used inside for stability. And the square is finished with a white backing and white ribbon edge. The clothespins are top-painted in 8 different colors using a soy based pigment. Each set comes in an organza drawstring pouch for easy put-away and visibility.....these colors don't want to hide, they want to come out to play!

Thoughtfully Designed
All of my creations were made with your little one in mind. Each piece was designed to nurture child development through open-ended play. These pieces can be used to broaden your little one's understanding and knowledge of our world and were created as early educational toys. I am inspired by the teachings of Montessori; the natural beauty of Waldorf; and incorporate a myriad of other learning-through-play philosophies when I design. It makes me smile to see my made-with-love pieces being toted for use as preschool toys and in natural play settings. Thank you for helping me support little minds, bodies, and imaginations through engaging, hands-on play and discovery.

Sensory Based Learning
Mama May i believes little ones make sense of their world through sensing our world. That's why you will find all of our designs offer a variety of tactile learning-through-play opportunities. We use a myriad of different textures and surfaces intertwined to make the most of every little play-and-learn time you share.

Kid Tested, Mama Approved
My own little ones have the wonderfully engaging job of "product testers". They are my inspiration for new products as well as my initial testing market. I don't add things to the product line that aren't played with and loved first at home.

Making Mama Earth Smile
Mama May i strives to reduce the impact of our products on the environment and your little one. We avoid the use of harsh chemicals and varnishes and instead, use plant based pigments, and organic beeswax to finish our wooden playthings. We use mostly untreated Poplar, Maple, and Oak that is locally sourced. We know how important your little one's safety is and we won't sell anything we wouldn't let our own little ones enjoy.
