Small World Play

Small World resources inspire children to use their imaginations and become the creator of their own play. By creating miniature worlds, small world play provides opportunities for children to explore and understand the world around them through imaginary role-play scenarios.

Explore various resources to create engaging small worlds, from natural materials, fictional characters, and animals, to tuff trays, stands and toy furniture.

What is small world play? Small world play encourages imaginative play within children, especially in the early years, to recreate the world around them and create fantastic imaginary lands where they can become anything they want to be - superheroes, astronauts, part of the emergency services or even dinosaurs!

Small world toys for 2 and 3 years olds can encourage the growth of many different skills through play, including; language development & social skills, an understanding of cause & effect and even problem solving. For a fully immersive small world play area, why not add some sensory materials such as pine cones, feathers, sand or fabrics. Have you seen our TTS Developed Glow People? They're the perfect addition to encourage sensory exploration within small world play.
