The Lenny | Rattan Play Gym
The Lenny.
A calm foundation for your baby's earliest play.
The Lenny is built around our rattan play gym frame — crafted from natural rattan with the warmth and texture that belongs in a considered home. The reversible liner offers soft blues and grounded greens in a reversible windowpane design — cornflower on one side, deeper teal on the other, the look shifts with your mood or your space.
Underneath, the base and liner are triple padded — soft enough for newborns, supportive enough for tummy time, and built to last well beyond those first months.
Two loops at the base allow toys to be secured during tummy time, keeping your baby engaged without them rolling out of reach.
Each piece included in the Lenny bundle has been chosen with purpose. The toys are tactile, considered, and designed to support the developmental milestones of early play — giving your baby something real to explore, and giving you a moment to breathe.

About The Frame
Our rattan frames are made from natural rattan and finished with a water-based coating — the same type used in furniture designed for nurseries and children's spaces. It contains no harsh solvents, dries odourless, and is safe for use around babies and young children.
As with any natural material product, we recommend the frames are used as intended — as a play mat surround rather than a chew toy. That said, we understand babies explore with their mouths, and we've made our material choices with exactly that in mind.
About The Beyond Attachment
When your baby becomes mobile and outgrows the play gym, the Beyond Attachment transforms the rattan frame into a beautiful piece of storage furniture, a home for books, soft toys, and the small things that gather in a baby's world.
Handmade in Indonesia by our trusted makers, the Beyond Attachment is designed to give your play gym a life well beyond those early months — because a frame this beautiful deserves to stay in your home.
Frequently asked questions
From day one. Our mats are soft enough for newborns and designed to be used from the moment you bring your baby home. The triple layer of padding provides a comfortable, supportive surface for even the earliest floor time.
As your baby grows and begins to roll, the raised edges help keep them contained within the mat, giving you a little more peace of mind during independent play.
And it grows with them. Remove the frame at around 14-16 months and it becomes a generously padded play spot for your toddler, somewhere for them to read their books or play with their toys.
And the rattan frame can be turned into a beautiful piece of storage furniture with The Beyond Attachment - a simple add-on that gives the frame a second life in your home.
Ninety-nine percent of the time it will be in your living room — which is exactly why we design them to be something you actually want to have in your space. You must place your baby play gym on the floor (not a raised surface). Avoid placing it directly next to furniture with sharp corners or within reach of cords and cables.
Floor time (i.e. time spent away from bouncers, rockers, and carriers) is one of the most valuable things you can give your baby in those early months.
Time on the floor encourages babies to move freely, build strength in their neck, core, and arms, and begin to explore their environment on their own terms.
It supports the natural progression of motor development, from lifting the head to rolling, sitting, and eventually crawling.
Even short periods of unstructured floor time each day make a meaningful difference.
A baby's skin is significantly more absorbent and sensitive than adult skin, which means what's next to it matters more than most people realise. Natural fibres like linen and cotton breathe with the body, regulating temperature and allowing airflow — reducing the likelihood of overheating or skin irritation. Synthetic fibres like polyester trap heat, don't absorb moisture, and can contain chemical finishes that sit against the skin for extended periods.
The soft components of our baby play gyms are machine washable. Simply pop the liner, base and tummy time pillow into the washing machine. Wash on a cold, gentle wash and lay flat to dry (over a drying rack in the shade is best).
The toys can also be machine washed.

A safe place to begin, from the ground up
The first months of play are more important than they look. Floor time builds the strength, coordination, and confidence your baby carries into every stage that follows. The right surface makes all the difference.
-
Recommended from birth
Australian guidelines recommend building to 30 minutes of tummy time daily - starting from just one or two minutes at a time.
-
Builds strength, stage by stage
Tummy time strengthens neck, shoulder, and core muscles - the foundation for lifting, rolling, sitting, and crawling.
-
Supports sensory development
Texture, contrast, and visual interest on the mat naturally encourage reaching and looking - building hand-eye coordination from around six weeks.
-
One surface, every stage
From tummy time to sitting to independent play - the mat grows with your baby through the first two years and beyond.

Designed and made in Melbourne, with quality materials that last
I’m absolutely loving this baby play gym! At first, my baby didn’t seem too interested — she was still quite young — so I mainly used it for tummy time with a pillow. But around day 130, she started grabbing the hanging toys and really engaging with it!
The design is beautiful and perfectly matches my taste as a mom. The mat is super versatile, the rattles make the sweetest sounds, and the rattan is high quality. I’m already looking forward to using it as a book rack later on — just thinking about it makes me happy.
I ordered it from Korea and was worried about the high international shipping cost, but the staff kindly helped me find a more affordable option. I really appreciated that.
In Korea, you can get plastic baby gyms for around 70,000 KRW, so this one is definitely more of an investment — but honestly, it’s on a completely different level. I truly hope more parents discover it so even more babies can enjoy it too!
I can not express just how much I love the rattan play gym. I hate bright plastic baby items on display in my living room as it makes the room feel busy, so the rattan is the perfect blend of style meets practicality. The liner is also thick and soft making it a great spot to master some belly business time too. I was pleasantly surprised that the hanging toys made different jingle noises. My older boys love to ‘play’ with them making up songs for baby with she lays under the play gym. If you are questioning the purchase don’t, consider it a style and practical investment. I love ours!!
I purchased the red daisy rattan play gym and it is stunning - I absolutely love it. Postage was fast and customer service was excellent. Will be sharing and recommending to anyone expecting a little one.
The rattan play gym set is so beautiful, unique and such good quality. I have bought for my sister and best friend as you can’t go past them for a play gym.
Love all the toys as well and the ability to mix and match with new toys.
We absolutely LOVE his play mat and gym - he’s only two weeks old but the only time we can put him down is if he has the gym to play with!! It has been such a lifesaver!
