Ice Mountains/3pc

Bring Arctic landscapes to life with this beautiful set of Ice Mountains. These three felt mountains are perfect for creating snowy scenes, dramatic cliff tops and cosy winter caves in your small-world play areas. Their soft texture and cool colour palette make them inviting to touch and move, while the three different heights naturally encourage comparison language such as tallest, middle and smallest. Pair them with polar animals, penguins, ice floes or loose parts to create imaginative stories about survival, migration and the changing seasons. Because they are lightweight and easy to position, children can quickly reshape their landscape, experimenting with perspective, distance and story structure as they play. A wonderful addition to block areas, tuff trays and book corners, these Ice Mountains help turn any surface into a frozen world ready for adventure.

Educational benefits:

• Encourages imaginative play and storytelling as children create Arctic adventures, animal journeys and seasonal scenes.
• Supports language development through descriptive talk about size, height, position and environmental features.
• Builds early mathematical thinking as learners compare heights, order the mountains and explore concepts such as tall, taller and tallest.
• Promotes early science understanding by prompting questions about cold habitats, snow, ice and the creatures that might live there.

Classroom & play activity ideas:

• Set up an Arctic small-world tray with the Ice Mountains, polar animals, blue fabric and loose parts to inspire open-ended narrative play.
• Use the mountains during group discussions about winter, weather or climate, inviting children to place animals where they think they would live.
• Ask children to order the mountains from smallest to largest, then draw and label a picture of their mountain range.
• Combine with blocks and natural materials so learners can design bridges, tunnels or shelters that connect or sit between the mountains.
