What actually matters when choosing

Once you've picked the kind of small world, think about whether you're looking for a larger house or setting, or the figures and pieces that go in and around it. Bigger buildings and play sets need more floor space and storage, while individual animals, people and smaller pieces can move between different set-ups.

Check what's actually included on the product page — some houses come with furniture or figures, others don't. Follow the age guidance for each product and check for smaller pieces where relevant.

Child playing with small world play at home

Looking for a different kind of pretend play?

If they want a doll or soft toy to care for — feeding, pushing a pram or doing check-ups — head to Looking After Others. If they'd rather dress up as the character than move figures around a miniature world, try Dress Up. And if cars, trucks, diggers, trains or tracks are the main thing, Vehicle & Worksite Play is the better place.
