Siapo is typically a fine tissue like cloth made form the bark of the mulberry tree and is a symbol of many cultures in the South Pacific.
Siapo mats were once used on a day to day basis in the homes of many South Pacific cultures, but due to it's tendency to crumble when wet they are slowly being replaced by the contemporary durability of these recycled-plastic mats.
Today we have taken the Hibiscus flower which is synonomous with Pacific Island culture and turned this design into a floor/beach mat.
The beauty of these mats don't just lie in it's visual appeal though. Being made from a durable recycled-plastic means our siapo mats are completely child-friendly, making them ideal for child care centres, schools and high traffic children's areas in the home. They are also suitable for the new EYLF requirements and fit into both requirements of environmental and multicultural factors for the learning environment for children.
Their versatility, light weight and durability is only enhanced by how easy they are to keep clean. Dirt and food spills need no longer be a problem in any child care centre, school or home. Simply vacuum up the offending spills, give them a quick wash over with soapy water, then toss them over the line or fence to dry. Easy!
Common Uses:
- Play mat in child care centres and Kindies
- Spread it on the floor to catch paint spills while the kids are having fun
- Use it on school or family outings
- Perfect for the beach – sand just washes off
- High traffic areas
- Brighten a classroom or kids play room
The possibilities are endless with our siapo mats. It even folds up for easy storage.
