Layers of the Rainforest – Montessori Categorisation Mat

Explore the fascinating layers of the rainforest with this beautifully handmade fabric categorisation mat. Designed to encourage hands-on learning, children can use miniature animal figurines, plants or classification cards to discover where different species live within a tropical rainforest.

The mat clearly represents the four main rainforest layers: Emergent Layer, Canopy, Understory and Forest Floor, providing a visual and tactile way for children to sort, classify and explore the rainforest ecosystem.

Handmade from 100% cotton and softly quilted with 2oz polyester wadding, the mat has a linen lining for a lovely quality finish. The appliquéd trees, foliage, vines and forest-floor details add texture and interest while leaving plenty of space for children to place their own figures and cards.
