Give dinosaurs a place to roam and wild animals a habitat to explore with the Wilderness Playmat by The Freckled Frog. Measuring 100 × 125 cm, this small world play mat gives children room to arrange figures, build hiding places and make up stories together.

Made from natural rubber and microsuede, the mat is suitable for children aged 18 months and over. Set it out with a few favourite animals for toddlers to explore or invite older children to build a prehistoric landscape with dinosaurs, blocks and toy trees. It’s a flexible resource for early learning centres, kindergartens and play at home.

Why Educators Love It

Gives small world play a setting that children can change as they add figures and build new features.
Encourages storytelling as children decide where their animals live, what they do and what happens next.
Builds positional language through play with words like beside, behind and between.
Makes room for shared play so children can build different parts of the same scene and bring their stories together.

How to Use It

Add dinosaur or wildlife replicas and invite children to build a nesting spot or create a trail for the animals to follow.
Use blocks and toy trees to create shelters, then ask children where each animal might rest or hide.
Revisit the same scene over several sessions. Invite children to remember what happened last time and decide what they’d like to add or change.

EYLF Outcomes Supported

Outcome 4 – Children are confident and involved learners. Children use imagination and experiment with different ways to arrange figures and build habitats.
Outcome 5 – Children are effective communicators. Children describe where their animals are, share story ideas and listen to one another during play.
