last year for Christmas my sister made my son a playmat very similar to A Girl and a Glue Guns mat. He LOVED it and pretty much wore it out over the last year. I decided that for Christmas I would update the idea and try to make it personal to where we live and put all his favorite places on it.
Some of our favorite places:
- the airport
- IKEA
- grocery store
- favorite park
- friends homes
- our apartment building
- the mountains behind out place
- fruit stand
- favorite restaurants
- Dad’s School
- train station
it also has a gas station with a hose to fill up the cars.
Airport terminal with plane parking
and LOTS of car parking spots… he loves to park the cars.
I had SO much fun making and creating this… although trying to sew something this large wasn’t easy. Especially when I had it all pinned on and was trying to sew without sticking myself! I know we will get a lot of play and fun from this for years to come! I’ve also made a glue gun travel size version… HERE

It’s so cute!!! Love it and love that you personalized it. I made a car carrier for some friends for Christmas sort of similar to this- http://joysoflifewithlucy.blogspot.com/2012/02/personalized-fold-up-car-carriers.html
