MTA Spaces - Pretend Grass Hex Mat - 76 x 67cm

Transform your classroom into a lush, imaginative landscape with the MTA Spaces: Hex Pretend Grass Mat. Designed to fit perfectly inside the MTA Hex Tray (sold separately), this textured pretend grass mat offers a natural-looking surface for sensory exploration, small world play, early numeracy, literacy, and STEM activities.

Crafted from durable plastic, the mat features a realistic grass-like texture that adds tactile interest and a vibrant green aesthetic to your learning spaces.
