We're exhausted parents, just like you.

We have two beautiful munchkins (4-year-old Luna and 2-year-old Nova), so we get it.

The kids are bouncing off the wall after school. You're trying to cook so you put on the TV. Then you feel guilty for resorting to more screen-time.

You're not lazy. You're not a bad parent. You're just overstimulated. Which is why we started Story Bounce.

Reach for Adventure, not the remote.

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

Creative burnout often shows up right when our kids need us the most - after you've finished work and they've finished school or daycare.

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!

Why Imaginative Play?

All parents 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.
