Bring the rugged beauty of Australia’s red heart into playtime with the Tara Treasures Large Outback Desert Play Mat Playscape. This stunning felt landscape features rusty red soil, sandy plains, rocky outcrops, sparse native shrubs, and a winding dirt road—a faithful reflection of the Australian outback.
