Review: Crafty Pods Pop-Up Playpen

When my twins were babies, they absolutely loved messy play. I really enjoyed doing messy play with them too. We did so much together. From cornflour slime to glitter and water play. Luckily we had a wooden floor so it was really easy to clean the mess up from the floor however, it would often take me a really long time to clean it up.

Thankfully, parents nowadays have Crafty Pods. Crafty Pods takes messy play time to the next level. Their pop-up playpens are designed to contain all the mess that comes with a child’s creativity.

Crafty Pods come in small, medium and large. They come in a case making them portable to bring anywhere with you.

We were sent the large Crafty Pod which is big enough for multiple children to enjoy the freedom of creating.

In addition to the Crafty Pod, you can also get a messy mat which fits right into the Crafty Pod. You can turn your Crafty Pod into a messy play mat with sides in a matter of seconds.

The Crafty Pod is really easy to set up. Simply take it out of the carry case, (which has a handle attached for easy carrying), and the Crafty Pod will pretty much open all by itself.

Crafty Pods start at just £36.49 for a small one, although at the time of publishing this review, they are on offer with the small one currently being £28.99. The medium one (normally £39.99) is currently £31.99. The large one (normally £43.99) is currently £34.99.

Putting the Crafty Pod back into the carry case was a lot easier than I thought it would be too. Luckily it does come with instructions too.

Overall, I am very impressed with Crafty Pod and the messy mat. I think they’re great value for money, well made and will certainly make messy play a lot easier to clean up.
