The Tree of Life Playmat

Introduce baby to the world of art and sensory discovery with the Hape x The Met Tree of Life Tummy Time Infant Mat. Inspired by the intricate details of a 17th-century British tapestry depicting the Tree of Life in The Met collection, this high-contrast playmat offers visual stimulation and multi-sensory engagement for infants 0–12 months.

Featuring a baby-safe mirror, teether, crinkly flaps, sensory ribbons, and a hidden squeaker, it’s designed to support early development through touch, sight, and sound. Lie it flat for tummy time or fold it into a standing mirror for seated play. A photo pocket adds a personalized touch to your baby’s artistic journey.

Lightweight and foldable, this mat is easy to bring on the go and makes a perfect newborn gift. Thoughtfully developed by Hape’s childhood experts in collaboration with The Met, it merges artistic heritage with expert-backed developmental design—bringing the Museum experience into everyday moments of learning and discovery.
