Description
Who lives inside Moss Cottage?
Follow the sound of a gentle babbling brook winding its way through the forest floor. Where the earth is soft and covered in thick, velvety green moss, you might notice something unusual – a small rise in the ground, tucked quietly into the hillside.
Look a little closer and you’ll find the door to Moss Cottage – a cosy wooden play set with a grass-style roof, inspired by a woodland burrow and designed for imaginative play.
Hidden beneath its mossy roof, this little burrow is home to two curious foxes.
Nook loves to collect treasures – smooth stones, fallen leaves and anything the brook brings close.
Tumble is always on the move, darting, digging and turning every day into a new adventure.
Together, they explore the world around them.
A ripple in the water becomes a race.
A stick becomes a tunnel.
And a mossy hillside becomes a place to call home.

Why This Matters
At Imagine That Creations, we believe play is not just something children do – it’s how they learn, grow and make sense of the world around them.
Through imaginative, open-ended play, children begin to:
- Develop language as they create stories and give voice to characters
- Build confidence as they explore ideas and lead their own play
- Strengthen social skills through role play, turn-taking and shared storytelling
- Regulate emotions by acting out experiences in a safe and creative way
- Encourage imaginative storytelling and oral language development
Simple, hands-on play also supports important developmental foundations. Movement, storytelling and interaction all work together to help build the neural pathways that support learning, coordination and focus.
In a world where play is increasingly replaced by screens, these moments of imagination have never been more important.
That’s why a portion of every Moss Cottage sold goes directly to I Am Hope, helping support their in-school mental health programmes for young people across New Zealand.
Because when children are given space to imagine, explore and play freely, they’re not just playing – they’re building the foundations for lifelong wellbeing.
