What is small world play?
Small world play is about telling a story. But, unlike role play, you are not a participant. You are the conductor, the general on the battlefield, moving figures and deciding events.
Which story will you tell? And how will it end?

Props for small world play
Who will be in your story? Wooden animal figures, peg people and matchbox dolls are just some of the characters you might pull from your toy box.
A readymade world
Small world play is completely open-ended. It can be anything you want it to be. Make the scenery from cardboard boxes, wooden blocks or natural materials.
But sometimes it's nice to start playing straight away, with characters and setting ready and waiting.
Perhaps a shepherd's hut, a canal boat or a castle.
