What better way to make veggies fun than a play rug that turns into a veggie garden? This super cute Lorena Canals Oli & Carol Veggie Garden Washable Area Rug was designed to spark joy and convey a meaningful message to inspire children to lead a healthy lifestyle. This collection advocates for plant-rich diet from an early age and encourages environmental respect.
This vegetable theme capsule collection captures children’s interest in gardening and playing in nature, providing fun playtime indoors without all the mess! Many of its designs prompt child interaction by stimulating role play and sensorial experimentation, sparking self-discovery in true Montessori fashion.
This Veggie Garden Washable Area Rug is made in a natural colour with slightly uneven borders to mimic a garden. Hidden within the rug are small pockets that simulate the holes in the garden to plant veggies. It also comes with 15 pieces of handmade veggies in the shape of radishes, carrots and kale, stored in a printed string bag and ready for play anytime of the day.

About the Brand
It started with one simple question that perhaps a lot of us parents have: ‘Why can’t we wash our kids’ Rugs at home? That was enough to set Lorena Canals on a journey to come up with a solution.

Made from 100% cotton, her Rug collection is machine-washable and is the new standard in the world of Rug design.

About 100% Cotton
As you’re probably aware, cotton is a natural fibre that comes from the cotton plant and grows commonly all over the world. It is a renewable and eco-friendly material that is easy to clean and maintain. Compared to wool, it is a less durable material due to its softer fibres and therefore, cannot take the pounding that wool Rugs can. However, cotton Rugs do offer an unparalleled feeling of softness, comfort and warmth. And cotton bares one important quality that wool Rugs cannot offer. It is completely machine washable!
Care Instructions
- Machine wash (capacity 10kg or more) separately using a delicate, 30ºC program without whitening
- Use a mild detergent, and do not use softeners
- Select low centrifuge speed if the rug has braids, fringes or pom poms. Do not leave the wet rug in the washer, as colors may run or stain
- Tumble dry at low temperature
- Avoid drying in the sun
- Don’t worry if lint appears, as this is residue fiber produced from cutting the cotton. During the first few days, it is advisable to sweep the rug with a hard brush in the direction of the plush, and then it is recommended to use the vacuum cleaner. We do not recommend the use of robot vaccum cleaners
- Should you find any long or loose threads, cut these using a pair of scissors. Never pull a thread
- Keep away from fire.
