I have very fond memories as a child loving and taking the best of care with my Winnie the Pooh books. They were always read sitting at a table to avoid pressure on the spine of the books, and always returned to their safe location whenever they were not being read.

Today however there are so many different Winnie the Pooh merchandise that taking care of them all is very hard to do. I still insist that our children look after their books properly, not just their Winnie the Pooh books, as well as some other belongings they have in their bedroom. One item however that seems to be replaced the most is the Winnie the Pooh rug they have on the bedroom floor.

You may think this an odd piece of merchandise to replace often as carpets in a bedroom on the whole stay in good condition longer. However with children of different ages sharing a bedroom and a combination of unfortunate accidents we have replace that particular rug 6 times in less than 10 years.

Two were replaced due to accidental damage. The 1st accident occurred to the rug depicting Winnie the Pooh on his own, that had playdoh trampled into it enough so it no longer looked like a Winne the Pooh rug but more like an abstract painting. The second rug was the replacement for the playdoh covered rug and that was unfortunately disentangled by the vacuum. It seems there was a loose piece of carpet which I didn’t see while cleaning their room.

So with the two accidentally recovered rugs we move onto the reason for the four remaining replacements. These were simply replaced to reflect the changes in age of our children. When very young it seemed perfectly fine to have a rather large Winnie the Pooh sitting on a rug but as the children grew older Winnie was replaced by other friends. So now not only was it a Winnie the pooh rug but maybe a Winnie and Lumpy or Winnie and Tigger or even Winnie and Piglet rug. For some time we did have two rugs in the bedroom but one of those was a hopscotch Winnie the Pooh rug that was used often enough to eventually annoy us with their fighting over the game and the constant thump, bang, thump as they hopped and skipped across the bedroom floor.

All of these rugs were very easy to buy but as time passed they only got more and more popular and therefore more available. Obviously the best place to research the different types and sizes of Winnie the Pooh rugs available is right here on the internet but just because you see it doesn’t mean you will all ways find the same one in your local high street shops. EBay is a great source for discovering new and unique styles but it certainly isn’t your only source. Amazon have a small selection of modern Winnie the Pooh rugs and similar to eBay it also has a few of the older style, and a little plumper, Winnie if that’s what you would preffer, I know I do.
