Small world play is a style of imaginative play which uses toys or props.

It encourages children to use these small props and their imaginations to create detailed and playful worlds. By doing so, they can have fun expressing their knowledge of the world around them in a creative way. Small world play can also inspire meaningful learning.

They can create scenarios based on what they have learned in a way that is meaningful for them. For this activity, students created a three types of landscapes using both natural and artificial materials.

These materials consisted of a real cactus, sand, and other vegetation. They then were given toy creatures with which they engaged in this small world alongside their friends!
