Meet the Zugs (Cool Carpets for Kids)

July 1, 2014 //  by Uju//  Leave a Comment

Laughing Larry arrived at ours all trussed up in an intriguing red package. Breaking him free was like breaking into Fort Knox. But he was definitely worth the wait. Even if the first thing I did was take off my shoes and walk all over him.

Who is Larry and why is he so gosh darn happy, you’re wondering?

Laughing Larry is one of the Zugs, a cool new collection of children’s character rugs. Each one of these kids carpets has enough personality to brighten up the nursery or children’s room.

Gracie the Ghost Zugs

Zugs are a Care and Fair product, handmade from 100% wool using a special hand-tufted technique in the Zugs mill in India. They feel super soft and springy to touch and the wool is deep enough to sink your toes in.

Suzie the Sunbeam Zugs

Zugs are designed to be a natural play mat for crawling babies, to withstand bouncy toddlers and to last as your child grows. The mix of characters offer unisex appeal and provide a perfect springboard for your little one’s imagination.

Gary the Cloud Zugs

The babes couldn’t wait to play wrestle and of course do breakdancing poses all over Laughing Larry’s cheerful disposition. He’s a good sport.

It’s sweet how he catches Jed every morning when he rolls out of bed, half-asleep.

Although sometimes it looks like Larry wants to eat him!

This summer, we’re planning to banish relocate the kids to the spare room at the top that has nothing but wood flooring. So Laughing Larry will provide a focal centrepiece and (hopefully) effective sound proofing as the babes play bedroom football over our heads!

We love our new Zug, he’s a very welcome addition to our home (but watch out for a little shedding, especially if your kids are as active as mine!).
