Set the scene for imaginative play with our collection of kids play mats. From Australian landscapes and woodland scenes to oceans and outer space, each play mat creates a beautiful backdrop for small world adventures. Explore handcrafted felt play mats, activity play mats and detailed playscapes. Each kids play mat is made to pair with favourite figurines and small world resources
Play mats are a beautiful way to introduce small world and imaginative play into the classroom. Children can pair them with figurines, animal toys and loose parts to create their own characters, stories and imaginary worlds.
Imaginative play can support creative thinking, language development and early storytelling skills, while giving children space to explore ideas in their own way.
There are plenty of ways educators can use a felt playscape to extend small world play. A few ideas to bring into your centre include:
Ocean adventure: Pair an ocean-themed play mat with boats, shells and sea animal figurines. Children can sail between islands, create underwater stories or discover which creatures live in different parts of the ocean.
What’s in our backyard?: Explore Australia’s diverse landscapes and habitats through small world play, with options ranging from the Daintree Forest play mat to the Australian Outback play mat. Which animals live there? What do they eat? What makes each environment different?
Read-along storytelling: Use a familiar story as the starting point for play. Pair the Gruffalo playscape with the Gruffalo finger puppets so children can recreate scenes from the book or invent a completely different adventure.
Since 1992, Preschool Equipment has curated beautiful early learning environments for centres across Australia.
Our play mats are selected to pair with the small world resources educators already use. Explore our other educational resources for small world play, including people toys, nature toys and pretend play furniture.
