Collection: Play Mats

 We have some charming small world playmats for children—perfect for imaginative setups with animal figurines, dolls, or landscapes:

Small world play mats are a fantastic way to spark open-ended, imaginative play. They give children a setting or "stage" to build stories on. Here are some engaging play ideas you can use with them:

Farm & Countryside Play

  • Animal care: Feed, water, and move farm animals around the mat.
  • Harvest time: Use pretend food or small blocks as crops to gather.
  • Market day: Set up a stall where the farmer sells produce.

Fantasy & Adventure Play

  • Fairyland: Place fairies, unicorns, and magical creatures on the mat.
  • Dinosaur land: Dinosaurs stomping, hunting, or protecting their eggs.
  • Treasure hunt: Hide gems, coins, or tiny objects for children to find.

Ocean & Water Play

  • Sea creatures: Place fish, whales, and boats on water sections.
  • Rescue mission: A lifeboat saving people from a “stormy sea.”
  • Island adventures: Pirates, treasure maps, and castaway play.

Play Enhancements

  • Add loose parts (stones, buttons, fabric scraps) to extend play.
  • Incorporate sensory elements (kinetic sand, felt trees, pom-poms).
  • Use mats as a storytelling prompt—children invent their own stories.
  • Combine with puppets or figurines for more roleplay.
