Felt Mermaid World Playset

Transform any play space into a serene underwater world with the enchanting Felt Mermaid Playset, featuring eight beautifully handcrafted mermaids and a coordinating felt Cove Play Mat. Thoughtfully designed for immersive, sensory-rich small-world play, this set is ideal for sparking imaginative storytelling, emotional expression, and hands-on learning in children aged 3 years and up.

The Cove Play Mat measures 40cm in diameter and is adorned with soft pastel felt stones, sea stars, and a hidden cove - perfect for storing tiny treasures or tucking in mermaids. The mat provides a durable, eco-conscious backdrop for open-ended play. Included are eight poseable Waldorf-inspired mermaids, each with a malleable felt body and flowing hair in a range of vibrant colours, skin tones, and soft textures. These mermaids reflect diversity and are designed to celebrate representation in early childhood learning. Each figure invites movement and narrative interaction, allowing children to pose and animate them in their magical marine adventures.
