Story Island

Ignite children's imaginations and inspire rich, collaborative storytelling with Story Island - a captivating 68-piece open-ended small world play set designed to foster creativity, communication, and teamwork. This beautifully crafted set features three large wooden islands (45 x 45 cm each) that can be used individually or connected with bridges or the included boat, encouraging flexible and imaginative play scenarios. Each island features a chalk-friendly surface, allowing children to design and redesign their own imaginative landscapes - from winding roads and railway tracks to ponds, shops, and villages. With enough components to fill all three islands, the set easily supports small group play, making it ideal for early learning environments and collaborative projects. Children can explore role play, construction, and storytelling as they watch cars, boats, and trains move between the islands, creating dynamic narratives that evolve with every play session. The beautifully detailed trees, including both deciduous and evergreen designs, alongside houses, vehicles, and people, bring each scene to life. Made from responsibly sourced FSCÂ ® Certified Plywood and Beech Wood, this eco-conscious set combines sustainability, durability, and endless play possibilities - perfect for developing early years imagination and cooperative play.
