Freckled Frog The Wilderness Playmat

The Wilderness Playmat is a large mat that gives children a wild outdoor scene to play across. It works as a backdrop for small-world play, setting the stage for creatures to roam while children invent their own adventures on top of it.

This kids play mat is made to pair with other Freckled Frog sets. You can add the Dinosaurs set to build a pre-historic world for dinosaurs to roam, or the Animals in the Wild set, among others, to fill the wilderness with creatures.

The playmat is made from vinyl and measures 100cm by 125cm. That generous size gives children plenty of space to spread out figures and act out scenes, while the vinyl surface lies flat on the floor for easy small-world play.

The Wilderness Playmat is Australian Made. Buying a locally made mat means the design and production happen in Australia, which some families look for when choosing toys for their home or early learning space.

By setting a ready-made wilderness scene, the mat invites children to imagine stories about the animals and landscapes shown. They can move figures around the terrain, decide where creatures live and narrate what happens, building language and creative play.

The wilderness backdrop suits any small-world scene set in the wild, from dinosaurs roaming pre-historic land to wild animals in their habitat. Children can swap figures in and out to change the story, so one mat supports many different play worlds.

The Wilderness Playmat is suitable for children 18 months and over. At that age children begin acting out simple scenes with animal and dinosaur figures, so the mat gives them a defined space to explore that kind of imaginative play.
