Small World Story Scene Islands - Set of 4

Our story scene islands are here to bring your small world set-ups to life! Our set of four chunky wooden bases are the perfect addition to any EYFS setting, ideal for use in any of our tuff spot trays. Each base measures 2cm in height, 30.5cm in width, and 17.5cm in depth, offering the perfect amount of space for children to create their imaginative worlds.

With our four vibrant colours of blue, green, yellow, and brown, these islands are perfect for zoning your small world play setups in a creative and imaginative way. Create a blue water section for boats and sea creatures, a green land area for forests or fields, a yellow desert for Sahara adventures and a brown mountain for wild exploring. The possibilities are truly endless!

Designed specifically for EYFS settings, our story scene Islands provide young children with a simple yet effective tool to organise and structure their imaginative small world play. Whether it’s a wild jungle scene or a bustling city landscape, these islands are versatile enough to suit any play scenario. They’re also chunky enough for little hands to easily manoeuvre and rearrange as they experiment with different set-ups and imaginative ideas.

Our story scene Islands can help children develop their fine motor skills as they move and position objects around the play space. They also promote creativity and storytelling, encouraging your young learners to build narratives, explore different settings, and interact with various characters and props. Social interaction is naturally fostered as children collaborate, share ideas, and work together to create imaginative small worlds.

These bases are built to last through endless play sessions. Their smooth, coloured surfaces provide a visually engaging and tactile element that enhances sensory play. Just add your favourite small world figures, and watch the stories unfold! (Contents not included, imagination highly encouraged.)
