Hot Wheels taking over your house?
Other town mats on the market just aren't... town-y... enough?
Want to promote independent, imaginative play?
There's a Habitat Mat for that.
The perfect play mat for hours of play every day, our Community mat is the town you wished you lived in, if it wasn't - you know - an illustration. Containing everything children need to create imaginative city scenarios, from emergency services to shops, recreational activities, a train line and school. A sustainability-focussed town, you'll also find solar panels, a community garden and EV chargers!
At 1.8m x 1.4m, the Community - our beautiful town play mat - is big enough for at least three little locals to have ample room to play!
Made from non-toxic BPA-free, latex-free and silicone-free neoprene and natural rubber, there's a lot more to our Community mat than it's good looks! Habitat Mats:
- Are 100% machine washable
- Have a non-slip textured backing
- Unroll completely flat - first time, every time!
- Are soft and comfortable on carpet, hard floors and outside
- Are durable and can withstand outdoor and messy play
A felt, carpet, plastic or foam play mat just can't boast the same features!
Here are some of the ways we Habitat Mat with the Community:
- Re-enacting daily life, like school drop-off and going to the library and park. This is important and common play for 2-3 year olds as they can practice existing in the real world while staying in a safe and familiar environment.
- Cops and robbers, involving high-speed police chases through the town.
- Imaginative small-world scenarios like a giant off-screen Sims!
- TRAFFIC JAM (if you know, you know!)
- Discussions about community, safety and sustainability using elements of the mat as springboards for conversation.
Our Community mat was lovingly illustrated in France by the wonderful Tatsiana Burgaud.
