Suited to children aged three and up, through the Pre-K and early primary years.

Why it lasts.

A mat gives small-world play a place to happen, and this one invites children to build a story across the river.

Who it's for

For the parent
A soft base for small world play that pulls together the fairies and gnomes you already have.
For the educator
A ready-made invitation to play for small world shelves, storytelling, and nature-themed units.
For the gift-giver
A lovely gift to pair with a fairy house or a set of felt figures.

Ways to play.

Lay it out as an invitation to play with fairy houses and figures. Send figures across the bridge on a journey. Use it as the base of a seasonal nature table.

The felt playsets offered by The Toy Wagon are wonderful things. I'm amazed at the skill and craftsmanship that goes into every one, and I now have several. This is one of my favorites. It's well made and versatile, can be used with many different little fairies and gnomes, and through multiple seasons. Just a lovely thing!

Details

Materials & construction

Each piece is needle-felted by hand in Nepal from 100% New Zealand wool, worked until it is dense and firm enough to hold its shape through years of play. The colors come from azo-free dyes, and the materials are certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.

Care & storage

Spot clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air dry. Do not machine wash or soak, since water can loosen the felt.

Wool naturally resists dirt, so most of the time a light brush and some fresh air is all it needs. Store it dry, away from direct sun.
