5 stars for XL Snakes and Ladders

"Wow What a brilliant picnic mat! I'm a busy working mum who loves taking my 4 young children out and this picnic mat is perfect.

The weather, at least here in London, is looking good for Mother's day this Sunday. Full Sun. If you've got run away toddlers and kids with ants in their pants a picnic might be 'relaxing' for everyone, or as relaxing as you're going to get without running away to a secret destination for the weekend without the kids.
