Play Mat Playscape | The Gruffalo® LARGE
Official Licensed The Gruffalo® Play Mat
Bring the deep, dark wood to life with The Gruffalo® Playscape Play Mat, a felt play mat designed for imaginative small world play and storytelling. Created in official partnership with Magic Light Pictures, this beautifully handcrafted mat recreates the magical scenes from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved story, The Gruffalo.
Perfect for early years learning and creative play, this wool felt play mat sets the stage for your child to retell the story where Mouse cleverly outwits the Fox, Owl, Snake, and even the fearsome The Gruffalo.
Features and Play Elements
- The Fox’s Underground House – a cosy cave for sneaky lunch invitations
- The Owl’s Tree – a tall stump where the Owl plans his woodland tea
- The Snake’s Logpile House – a textured log home for sly suggestions

- Storytelling and book-based learning
- Small world play and early childhood education
