Felt Hex Mat - Earth

The Felt Hex Mat - Earth (76 x 67 cm) is a vibrant, multi-coloured play mat divided into six Earth-inspired colours, designed to support open-ended play and creativity. This versatile mat is ideal for children to explore colour matching, setting up stories, and developing games. It encourages imaginative play, fostering cognitive and social skills while offering an opportunity to explore Earth tones and themes. The mat can be paired with our Hex Trays and Stands for even more interactive play possibilities.

Educationally, this mat supports colour recognition and fine motor skills as children sort objects into corresponding coloured sections or create their own patterns and designs. It is perfect for storytelling and role-playing activities, where children can develop narratives and learn about the natural world. The tactile nature of the felt material also invites sensory exploration, encouraging children to engage through touch while fostering creativity and problem-solving.

Classroom Ideas:
In the classroom, the Felt Hex Mat can be used for a variety of activities. For younger children, use the mat to practice colour matching by placing objects that match each section's colour. For older children, encourage group play where children create stories or games using the different coloured sections of the mat, which could represent different terrains or environments. The mat is also great for creating a calm space for individual reflection or as a foundation for sensory play activities. Pair the mat with Hex Trays to encourage sorting or pattern-making games, further enhancing learning opportunities.
