Our Top 5 Places to Take Your Scribble Mats

Scribble Mats were made with real-life parenting in mind—simple, screen-free, reusable fun that goes wherever your family goes. Whether it’s a quick trip to the café or a long-haul flight, these mats are your go-to for keeping little hands busy and minds engaged. Here are five of our favourite places to take Scribble Mats. 

1. Cafes & Restaurants

You’ve just ordered a coffee or your meal’s on the way —cue the restlessness. Bring out a Scribble Mat, and suddenly you’ve got a quiet, creative kid and a moment of peace. As a bonus, they double as placemats, making the clean-up just that little bit easier.

   

2. Car Trips

Whether it’s 20 minutes down the road or a weekend road trip, keeping kids entertained in the car is always a win. Mini and Midi mats are perfect for little laps, and with fewer pens per pack, there’s less to drop between the seats.

 

3. Airplanes and Airports

Waiting at the gate or stuck in a plane seat? Pull out a Scribble Mat. They’re lightweight, mess-free, and fit easily into carry-on bags. No screens required—just creativity on repeat.

4. Medical Appointments

Doctor’s waiting rooms, dentist check-ups, or visiting loved ones in hospital —these essential visits can feel extra long with a child in tow. A mat and a few pens can turn the wait into a calming activity.

5. At Grandma’s (or anywhere you visit)

Scribble Mats are a great alternative to bringing a whole toy bag. Grandparents’ houses, playdates, camping or holiday homes—they pack small and offer big entertainment without taking up space.

Don’t Leave Home Without One!

Designed for busy families, each pack is a complete activity, making it easy to grab and go as you leave home. I like to always keep one pouch in my bag and another in the car. 

Future you will be grateful you packed a Scribble Mat!
