Felt Play Mat – Estuary Landscape with Caves (Handmade by Papoose)
Where river meets sea, a world of stories begins...
The Papoose Estuary Felt Play Mat is a richly textured, 3D playscape designed to spark deep, immersive storytelling and nature-based play. Gentle waterways curve between land and sea, inviting sea creatures, river animals, and tiny folk to wander, explore, and take shelter in the three cozy felt caves—one nestled in the water, and two tucked into the land.
Whether it's mermaids resting in their hidden grotto, fish darting through shallows, or forest critters finding safety among the trees, this mat offers endless open-ended play possibilities. Its sculptural features encourage children to engage their senses and imagination as they build scenes and bring their own small world to life.
Lovingly handcrafted from 100% natural wool, each mat is hand-felted by skilled Nepalese artisans working under fair trade conditions. Slight variations in shape, texture, and detail make each piece truly unique—just like the landscapes that inspire them.
A perfect foundation for loose parts play, story reenactments, or seasonal displays, the Estuary Mat invites your child into a calm, creative rhythm of play.
