Solar System Outer Space Playmat with Felt Planets

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.

Arrange the planets in order from the Sun and name each one out loud. Move them to different distances, compare their sizes, and explore which ones are gas giants and which are rocky. Take the planets off the mat and use them as loose parts for sorting and stacking. Add astronaut figurines or small spacecraft toys to extend the exploration.

Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge or machine wash. Air dry flat. Store the planets in a small drawstring bag or bowl alongside the mat so nothing gets lost between sessions.
