“
Ahoy there! The Treasure Island mat sets the scene perfectly for thrilling pirate adventures.
”
The MORE
THE STORY
Jeanette Says Everyone loves a Tuff Tray and its infinite number of uses; in fact I can’t remember life without one. They’re brilliant as a standalone resource, but by creating top quality, scene setter mats, we have taken imaginative and creative play in the Tuff Tray to another level.
Tuff Tray and accessories not included
Tuff Tray MATS
5
Use natural materials, sprinkles and sparkles, creatures and characters to create mystical and magical scenes, inspire imaginations or bring much loved stories and tales to life. Made from hard wearing, tough, durable polyester, with a non-slip rubber backing, these Tuff Tray mats certainly live up to their name. Unlike PVC mats, they will not tear and will stay flat, avoiding the frustrations of a rippled, stretchy surface. The mats fit snugly into our Tuff Trays (see our main 2016 catalogue or website), or can be used on the floor, units or table tops, indoors or out. Size: 88 x 88cm.
ere’s MORE!
For Tuff Trays, stands, accessories and even more mats see our main 2016 catalogue or website. You’ll also find a wide range of small world resources to enhance imaginative play with the Tuff Trays and mats.
