Small World Play

Small World Play refers to imaginative play with small sized pieces such as miniature trees, animals, dolls or cars. Children use their hands to play with small animals, dolls or scenes, whilst using their heart and head to express their knowledge of the world around them in a creative way. Small World Play has no rules. It can occur with a purposefully set up activity, or often children will create their own small world areas with resources available to them.

We have a range of natural toys to help create small world play landscapes and scenes. Our favourite pieces are the natural handcrafted ethical felt from Papoose, or perhaps the mini fairy homes from maker Himalayan Journey.
