Our Story

Our Story

As a parent, our founder, Valene, hopes to limit her children's screen time with the need for a peaceful cup of coffee (or two!).

She noticed that mealtimes were often a battleground for many families, with kids begging for tablets or phones to keep them entertained.

She wanted more for her family. She wanted to create a space where they could connect, be creative, and make memories together.

One day, while cleaning up after a messy art project, she had an idea. What if she could create a reusable, washable placemat that would keep her kids engaged and creative during mealtimes, without the need for screens? And so, Busy Mat was born!

 

Uniqueness

What sets our placemats apart is the love and care that goes into each hand-drawn design. Every placemat is a one-of-a-kind piece of art, carefully thought out to incorporate interactive, fun, and educational elements. From the initial sketch to the final product, Valene ensures that every placemat meets the high standards of quality and creativity.
