NEW - Control Panel Mats (with secrets)
This is your Mission Control.
Our new Control Panel mats provide more opportunity for interaction within the play system. Packed with buttons, symbols and hidden codes, they give kids a place to launch and change the story as they play.
Make one long control panel by joining them up side-by-side, or split them up between explorers for more decision-making and interaction.
Need a systems check? Course redirect? Communicate with an unknown entity on the radar? These mats are a checkpoint for building out their adventure.
(They are also perfectly fine as simple jumping mats!)

Easy to play, easy to pack away!
Because the last thing you need is more mess
Let’s be honest - what often holds us back from saying yes to new toys is the thought of more stuff.
Good news! Our vibrant Adventure Mats come in a compact, stackable set with a handy zipper carry case, so pack-up is quick, storage is simple, and adventures are only moments away.
✅ No tiny pieces to lose or vacuum up (or swallow)
✅ No extra bits for siblings to argue over
✅ Perfect for small or large spaces - mats can be placed as close together or far apart as you like
✅ Portable play: take it to the park, a picnic, or Grandma’s
✅ Easy for little ones to tidy up themselves
✅ One set = infinite games = fewer toys lying around
Versatile Play.
Our daughter Luna will tell you these mats can be used in so many ways! Here's just a few ways we've used our Floor is Lava mats:
✅ As blankets for her toys
✅ Rolled up as a pretend burrito or telescope etc
✅ A cushioned surface on itchy grass during an impromptu picnic
✅ A rocky adventure landscape for smaller figurine toy play
✅ A 'Floor is Lava' game for the plushies - the mats don't have to be used by humans!
FAQs & Tips
What are Adventure Mats?
Story Bounce Adventure Mats are illustrated, non-slip play mats that turn ordinary floor space into epic adventures.
Each set comes with 10 mats of various shapes and illustrations, designed and created by two Aussie parents.
From instant screen-free play to making daily routines easier to navigate, Adventure Mats are a versatile tool that kids (and parents) reach for again and again.
Lay them out as stepping stones, safe zones, lava fields, adventure trails, story prompts, or entirely new worlds. Rearrange them anytime to create a new challenge or switch up the adventure.
The goal is to reduce friction at playtime. Adventure Mats are a tool that are versatile and supportive, designed to be reached for again and again.
What's included in the set?
✓ 10 Adventure Play Mats
✓ Storage bag with carry handle and zipper
✓ Instant play ideas in the box
✓ 30-Day Play Guarantee
✓ Weekly instalments of extra play inspiration after purchase, directly to your inbox
What is the 30-Day Play Guarantee?
If your family gives Story Bounce a proper go and your kids just don’t reach for the mats, return them within 30 days for a full refund of the set/s.
We created our Adventure Mats to actually get used, not become another forgotten purchase.
We do not cover return shipping costs, and any original shipping costs are not included in the refund.
How do I clean the play mats?
We made sure clean up is a breeze. Polyester is a synthetic fibre that doesn't hold water or dirt well, so they are super easy to wipe clean if they get grubby.
If they get absolutely soaked, hang them out in the sun to dry out.
Are these indoor or outdoor mats?
They are both! The non-slip base works best on flat, dry surfaces, but they can be used on grass for outdoor fun. You can carry the adventure everywhere!
They’re lightweight, water-resistant, non-slip, durable, and ready for wherever play happens.
What age do you recommend?
It sounds silly, but any age. We've seen infants who are new crawlers captivated by the vibrant illustrations, and grandparents getting involved in adventures with their grandkids.
Overall, we believe that kids aged between 3 - 12 get the most fun out of them, but it really depends on the individuals and the family.
When it comes to using the mats in daily routines, they are especially helpful for kids aged 3 - 10. They can be incorporated into everyday tasks to make tricky transitions easier for kids who respond to visual support and novelty, or those who struggle with verbal communication.
If your kids are at the age where they love pretend play, these are a great way to add extra movement and challenges to their stories. If they just have so much energy, all of the time, they're a great tool for burning some of the jitters off at any time of day.
Any tips for telling stories?
Honestly, watching our kids Luna & Nova come up with their own way to play has been the most wonderful adventure! Give it a try - lay the mats out and see what happens (you don't even have to let your kids know that you're bringing them out - a surprise discovery might lead to something epic!)
You don’t need to be a master storyteller. Just start with something silly! Let your child pick a mat, name a character, or set a challenge—and follow their lead. It’s all about fun, not perfection.
Start with: “Uh-oh! The floor is lava—how do we get across?” Ask questions, make sound effects, and don’t be afraid to get goofy. Kids will do the rest!
Ask your little one to tell you the story. Prompt them with a “What happens next?” or “Who lives on that tile?” and let their imagination lead the way.
For those times when your creativity is completely spent, we're developing new Story Prompt Cards to help spark your imagination. These will be ready to release soon and you'll be the first to know.
Do you have any other play mats or themes?
You betcha! Explore our other mats here.
We're currently developing more play mats - themes like Jungle, Castle, Space, Ocean and more. All the mats will fit with the same scale and style as these Floor Is Lava play mats, so they can easily be combined for even more EPIC stories.
Our Story Prompt Cards are coming soon, too. These are a lovely little addition to your play mats to further ease the overwhelm of playtime when you're running on empty (and don't know where you're going to pull a story from!)
To make this happen, we need to know that there is an audience of parents like you who love these mats. So if you loved adding Story Bounce to your playtime toolkit, please share the word!
Designed by Aussie parents
We're Maddi & Tim.
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.
When “JUST ONE MORE STORY, PLEEEEASE” became a trigger, we knew it was time to find a solution (without resorting to screen-time). We needed a tool to help us engage with Luna and Nova while also encouraging them to take the reins, to ease the overwhelm that playtime often brings.
So we created Story Bounce.

No Energy? No Problem.
Ask your little one to tell you the story. Prompt them with a “What happens next?” or “Who lives on that tile?” and let their imagination lead the way.
