Welcome back to Baby to Child, the channel where we help parents navigate the wonderful—and sometimes overwhelming—world of baby products. Today, we’re taking a close look at the Pencil Grip Activity Playmat Fill in the Blanks, sold in a pack of six. These mats are designed to be reusable and are compatible with Wonder Stix, offering a way for little ones to draw, erase, and start fresh again. If you’re new here, hit that subscribe button and tap the bell so you never miss tips and honest reviews that help parents make smart choices—and maybe save a little sanity along the way.
The Pencil Grip Activity Playmat comes in a set of six, each measuring 12 by 17 inches. One side of the mat is blank, providing a clean canvas for creative activities. They’re designed to work with Wonder Stix, the erasable, refillable writing sticks, which means you can draw, fill in letters, numbers, or shapes, then wipe it clean and do it all over again. These mats are lightweight, portable, and intended for repeated use, making them an appealing option for arts-and-crafts sessions at home or even on the go.
When we put these mats to the test, setup was straightforward—just unroll them and pair them with your Wonder Stix. The surface is smooth enough for consistent marks but resilient enough that erasing doesn’t leave streaks behind. In practical use, kids enjoyed the freedom to draw without worrying about paper waste or permanent markers, and the blank side allows for free drawing or practice activities. That said, because the mats are thin, they can shift around on slick surfaces, so a table or lap works best. Also, while they’re reusable, the surface may show faint marks after extended use, though nothing that affects functionality.
Pros include the pack of six, which gives multiple kids—or multiple sessions—coverage, the compatibility with Wonder Stix, and the simple, reusable design that cuts down on paper waste. They’re portable, lightweight, and easy to store. On the downside, the mats aren’t self-adhesive or weighted, so they can slide a bit during use, and over time, some faint ghosting of colors can appear. Parents will also want to note that these are intended for use with Wonder Stix specifically, so other markers or crayons may not wipe off cleanly.
In terms of value, the pack of six makes this a fairly budget-friendly option if you plan to rotate mats or use them with multiple children. You’re essentially paying for reusability and durability, which can offset the cost of disposable paper pads over time.
Compared to similar reusable activity mats, these are fairly standard in size and function. Some competitors offer larger mats or built-in stencils, which might appeal if your child prefers bigger drawing areas or guided practice. But for parents seeking a simple, versatile solution that works seamlessly with Wonder Stix, this pack delivers without overcomplicating things.
The build quality is consistent with lightweight educational mats. The material is flexible yet sturdy enough to withstand repeated erasing and drawing. There’s no long-term durability data, but the mats feel solid enough for typical at-home use.
Midway through, I just want to encourage you to hit like if you’re finding this helpful and subscribe if you want more practical reviews like this. Don’t forget to tap that bell so you catch every video that could make your parenting life just a little easier.
If you’re looking for alternatives, there are single-mat options or larger reusable play sheets from other brands at a lower price, but you’ll sacrifice the convenience of a six-pack and Wonder Stix compatibility.
To sum it up, the Pencil Grip Activity Playmat Fill in the Blanks pack is simple, effective, and kid-friendly. Its strengths lie in reusability, portability, and the ability to pair with Wonder Stix for creative learning. Limitations include minor surface ghosting and the need for a stable surface during use. It’s best suited for parents looking for a practical, mess-free drawing solution that encourages repetition and creativity.
