A sprawling ocean world in soft, hand-felted wool, sized to cover a full tabletop or spread out on the floor. A blue sea crested with white waves runs up to a sandy shore, where seaweed-draped rocks shelter a scatter of tide pools and a small cave. Every wave, pebble, and strand of seaweed is its own raised felt piece, made by hand and built to be handled.

Sea creatures slip in and out of the cave and gather along the shore, and it holds a whole afternoon of play. The animals are yours to bring, and the figures shown here are not included. When the tide goes out, it rolls up and fastens with a single button.

Suited to children aged three years and up.

Why it lasts.

We brought in the Sea and Rockpool Mat because small world play near the coast hits differently than any other scene. Children who live near the sea recognise it immediately; children who have never seen a tidepool are drawn in just as fast. The natural landscape gives imagination a framework without prescribing the story, so play goes longer and goes deeper. That is the standard we hold our play mats to.

Sea, sand and rockpool

Places for every sea creature to swim and hide.

Made by hand

Hand-felted from New Zealand wool in Nepal.

Rolls up for storage

A button closure keeps it tidy.

Who it's for

For the parent
A seaside world in soft wool felt: deep blue water, a sandy shore, a rockpool, and a seaweed-covered cave. Children settle in quickly and come back to it every day.
For the educator
PreK through Grade 2. Supports marine habitat exploration, sea creature sorting, and extended small world storytelling. Children sort by habitat, build narrative sequences, and practice classification in a format large enough for group play.
For the gift-giver
One of those gifts that earns a permanent spot in the playroom. Works with any ocean figurine collection and gives children a world they return to every day.

Ways to play.

  • Explore the rockpool
  • Hide sea creatures in the cave
  • Build a beach day story

Gorgeous!

I already have the Bear Hunt play mat and knew I needed to get another one and this one did not disappoint! The craftmanship is amazing and it is so bright and colorful! I cannot wait to give this to my children!

Gorgeous, multiple uses

My daughters use this play mat both to pretend they themselves are at the beach and also that their doll house dolls are at the beach. Absolutely lovely!
