A whole landscape in soft wool felt: rolling hills, a winding river, a wooden bridge, a dense forest, a sunny meadow, and a snug bear cave at the end of the trail. Children move through the landscape, following the bear's path or inventing their own story. When the day is done, it rolls up and fastens with a button. The Felt Bear or woodland animal figurines pair beautifully with this mat.

Why it lasts.

We carry the Bear Hunt Mat because story-based landscape play is one of the richest forms of imaginative play we know. Children who love the classic bear hunt story will recognize every landmark and play it out repeatedly. Children who have not read the book will use it on their own terms, building trails and adventures through a world that feels genuinely large.

Details

Materials & construction

Each piece is crafted from 100% New Zealand wool felt, sourced from GOTS-certified farms. The wool is colored with azo-free, non-toxic dyes and verified under OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Every component, including structural threads and dyes, is cleared of over 100 harmful substances. The finished pieces contain no plastic, no batteries, and no synthetic fill.

These pieces are made in Kathmandu, Nepal, by a cooperative of over 350 women artisans, the majority of whom are mothers. Each is shaped through traditional needle-felting and wet-felting, without molds or machines. The cooperative holds Fair Trade USA certification, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions. Your purchase directly supports the economic independence of the women who made it.

Ways to play

Walk the felt bear through each terrain zone in sequence, acting out the adventure from the meadow to the cave and back. Use woodland animal figurines to populate the forest and the riverbank. Retell the story in a child's own words, adding new characters and detours along the way. Pairs beautifully with woodland figurines.

Care & storage

Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge or machine wash. Air dry flat. Roll loosely and fasten with the button to store upright or flat. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the wool's color.
