The FeltScape space panel is a visual and tactile play surface designed to encourage imaginative exploration. It features a solar system scene made up of individual components including planets, rockets, astronauts, stars, comets, and alien figures. Each element is shaped simply and coloured boldly to support visual clarity and invite children to create their own narratives through rearrangement and interaction. The composition encourages sustained engagement through hands-on play rather than passive observation.
The panel supports open-ended play by allowing children to move, remove, and reposition pieces freely. This flexibility enables a wide range of scenarios, such as planning space journeys, organising planetary paths, or inventing interactions with alien characters. Handling the pieces adds a sensory dimension to play, reinforcing learning through touch, movement, and spatial awareness.
Designed for repeated use in early learning settings, the panel uses clear contrast and defined forms to aid visual recognition and organisation. Its structure encourages experimentation, storytelling, and role play, making it a functional and durable feature for environments focused on creativity, exploration, and developmental play.
