When you have nothing left, but you want to give them everything.

Dear Exhausted Parents: We See You.

You’ve carried a thousand invisible things today, and now it’s playtime. Again.

You're overwhelmed, and that's okay—and you're certainly not alone. Story Bounce mats are here to help. 

They bring movement, joy, and self-led imagination into your home, without scripts, screens, or pressure.

One small way to make play simpler, stories easier, and those moments together a little more possible.

Just place the first mat, and let the story begin.

Reach for Adventure, not the Remote.

Our mats encourage movement, connection, and creativity—no screens required.

In today's busy world, creative burnout often shows up right when our kids need us the most — especially during playtime. 

Story Bounce is a solution to bridge the energy gap: a way to support spontaneous, imaginative play and encourage movement, while holding space for our own needs, too.

Who is Story Bounce for?

If you're starting to feel little 'seen' - Story Bounce is for you.

Because, same. We’re two busy parents with two BUSY children, who have wild and wonderful imaginations. When we’re burnt out, it’s hard to match their energy.

Some days, that spark just isn’t there. And that’s okay.

We juggle business, neurodivergence and parenting, and our kids just can't get enough stories. Parallel play or independent play just wasn't happening, and when “JUST ONE MORE STORY, PLEEEEASE” became a nervous system trigger, we knew it was time to find a solution (without resorting to MORE screen-time).

 So we created Story Bounce.

Our Story

Stories in motion. Literally.

Make-believe play and story telling are wonderful ways to engage in play and quality time with little humans.

Story Bounce mats are an extra tool for parents who want to enrich their children's playtime with physical activity and imaginative play, providing that little bit of extra inspiration when you're fresh out of stories!

Child-led play that might give you FOMO.

Get them moving!

Off the couch and onto their feet, Story Bounce play mats are made for movement. 

BOUNCE TIME!

Story time creates connection

Strengthen parent-child bonding through shared playtime.

LET'S TELL STORIES

Made for Family Fun

A set of 10 makes sure there's enough to share with the whole family (parents optional!)

SAY YES TO PLAY!

Leap with the mind, not just the feet.

Why Imaginative Play?

We all want to nurture our kids with imaginative play. It boosts creativity, problem solving, emotional regulation, and physical development.

Boosts Creativity

Imaginative play encourages divergent thinking, which is linked to long-term creative problem solving.

Builds Social Skills

Pretend play helps children understand emotions, develop empathy, and practise social roles.

Problem Solving

Open-ended scenarios during imaginative play require flexible thinking and adaptive problem solving. Skills that translate to real-world learning

Physical Development

Active pretend play (like crawling through jungles or jumping over lava) improves gross motor skills, coordination, and spatial awareness.

  • Imaginative Play

    Every play mat is a launchpad for creativity, cognitive development, and problem solving.

  • For kids and parents

    Designed for joyful connection and turning playtime into quality time.

  • Active Play

    Encourages gross motor skills and physical confidence through interactive, movement-based imaginative play.
