Choosing a writing mats

Starter Mat - If your child is under 3 years, I would start with a pre-writing mat (sold as a single mat or in a pack). This focuses on first name only and pre-writing skills.

Single Mat or Pack - A selection of writing mats can be bought as a pack offering greater value but they can also be purchased as single mats too.

Font - Most children start learning using our standard font but some school will teach using a precursive font (with lead in and exit strokes on the letters). If you know your child will be be taught using precursive handwriting in their reception year then pick a precursive mat.

Product Care

Any felt tip pens will work fine on the mat (if you are unsure please test a corner first) or I sell a specialised triangular pen to help with finger positioning click here to buy.

To clean, please use a dry or very damp soft cloth. It is advised to clean immediately after use to minimise marking and preserve the quality of your product.

Keep the product away from fire, store in a dry room, avoid excessive water

Start your child’s writing journey with the right foundation.  Perfect for Ages 2 and Above.

Help your child build essential pre-writing skills with our Pre-Writing Skills Learning Mats – designed for young learners, our mats help children build confidence as they develop fine motor skills and practice the necessary pre-writing movements. With these learning mats, your child will be ready to move on to letter formation when they’re developmentally ready – no rushing, just steady progress!

Why Pre-Writing Skills Matter:

Before your child can start writing, they need to develop the fundamental skills that will make writing easier and more enjoyable - these key skills are the building blocks of writing.  Our mats are carefully designed to nurture these skills in a fun, engaging way, giving children the confidence they need to progress into formal letter formation.

It can also be ordered as a gift pack which is ready to post (generally within 1 to 3 days) which included a redeemable code for the name mat to be ordered by the recipient at a later.

Our pack focuses on the 9 key pre-writing shapes that form the foundation for most letters and numbers. When your child practices these shapes, they are laying the groundwork for writing success – all while having fun!

Key Features:

  • Gradual Learning Approach: Our mats provide a structured and gradual path to learning how to write. Designed for developmental stages, we offer Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 learning mats to ensure your child progresses at their own pace.
  • Clear Guidance: Each mat has clear ‘starting stars’ to show where pencil movement should begin and ‘ending dots’ to indicate where to finish. This ensures your child develops proper habits from the very beginning.
  • Bright & Fun Designs: Our mats come in 3 different colorful, engaging designs that make learning exciting, turning practice into play!
  • Less Daunting for Younger Learners: The name mat includes minimal guidelines, making it less intimidating for younger children to start practicing.
  • Wipeable & Reusable: Made for repeated use, these mats are easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth, ensuring endless learning opportunities without the mess.
  • Teacher-Recommended: These mats are trusted by primary school teachers for their effectiveness in building pre-writing skills. Plus, they’ve received great reviews from parents!
