Designed by a leading New Zealand Artist for the New Zealand market, our unique everything that's New Zealand and if you live away from New Zealand, everything that will remind you of home with their Te Reo and English names, are a great way to learn some basic Te Reo.
Te Reo has been checked and verified by a leading Maori educator who teaches schools and businesses how to integrate Te Reo Maori into their values and practice using Maori tikanga principles. Children learn Te Reo while colouring in (with whiteboard markers - which are supplied) pictures of our amazing national icons.
The best part is when they are finished - wipe with a damp cloth, and they can start again. DRAW, ERASE, AND REPEAT!

This design I love, all the animals and alphabet :) love! The other one I have is numbers and dinosaurs! And I love the reverse of this one as it is lined and perfect for practicing our alphabet and writing. Thank you so very much. Wonderful

This is my second time ordering from Hey Doodle and it was a big one, I wanted extra markers for my son as-well as a few new mats and travel case. I love that no matter what mat you get,it comes with pens and you aren’t having to buy separately. The mats have helped my son not only with his coordination but also his speech as he is interested in the pictures and tells a story while drawing. I personally love that when he wants to start over he just grabs a baby wipe and cleans it himself !

My daughter is obsessed asks for this everyday and keeps her entertained for hours
Michelle S.5/5Verified
My kids love hey Doodle mats and so do we as parents! They really enjoying colouring and drawing with textas. The colours are so vibrant and it’s so so easy to clean up! They keep our two (age 4 & 2) entertained at restaurants, allowing us to enjoy our meal! We’re able to draw with the kids too which gives us nice connected family time!
Sharon M.5/5Verified
I got so excited when I saw this addition to the website. Perfect for my 5 year old. He’s excited to learn and explore numbers and I love how many options there are for using it.
Stephanie R.5/5Verified
This drawing mat is the best toy I've ever bought, no doubt about it. It's perfect for taking anywhere to kill time, like waiting at a restaurant. It's super easy to clean, and the colors of the brushes are really vibrant.

We absolutely love our Hey Doodle colouring mat! My daughter is 2.5 and this is one of the only activities she has that keeps her busy for a while! It’s also a nice calming activity to do before bed.

All HeyDoodle mats
I bought a few mats and we love them all. Highly recommend. We use a wet wipe to clean off and start again. So good for getting off screens and I've been enjoying colouring as well.
Tara B.5/5
creative cool mat for endless fun
Hey Doodle mats has been a huge hit with our family, especially with my 3.5 year old daughter! She loves using it to learn writing numbers and letters. she is so proud and dance with joy after finishing each letter/number.
We got introduced to it from her speech therapy session and after seeing it worked for us at home , we bought more mats and other items from hey doodle within a week.
It’s been a fantastic tool for building her fine motor skills and boosting her confidence, we can see in one week she has gained a lot of skills in holding pen and writing letters. What’s even better is that she enjoys cleaning it at the end—wiping it down feels like part of the fun for her! Watching her take pride in both her work and the cleanup process is so rewarding. This mat is durable, easy to clean, and endlessly reusable. A perfect combination of fun, learning, and responsibility in one product. Highly recommend it!

Cutest mat for a girl! 🌈
Loved this mat so much I ended up buying this one again for a present! Great for fine motor skills and educational with numbers to count from 1-10. The creative design has lots of cute pictures, my 2yo and 4yo girls love making it colourful. They also like to flip the mat over and play naughts and crosses on the back!

Loved it
Purchased a mat set and an add on mat for my twins for our trip to Europe. Has been loved so much already, and I suspect it’s going to join us for dinners as well when we are out and about.
Love the quality and the delivery was super efficient. Would highly recommend!
Evelyn B.5/5
Great for learning letters and coloring within the linesfor my 3yo
Our son is 3,5 yo and he just started to learn gripping the pensil for writing / drawing. He was frustrated because it was really hard for me. Being bad at something and sticking to it is very challenging for my son. But the texture of this mat actually makes the writing really more accessible for him. I think it's because it is less "slippery" than paper, somehow it's more soft and silky.
Now he is obsessed with practicing the letters on his mat and coloring the associated picture and practicing the sound, like "sssss for snake!" - that makes him so much more confident about his writing, without even noticing he is writing, just by playing. Even the wiping at the end is part of the fun :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I need this too
I’m getting one too now I see my nephew enjoying his. Might me my new mouse pad
Kirsty H.5/5
My son loves using this
This is one of the best things I have bought my son. He uses it all the time and we also take it out with us everywhere. It was perfect for using on our long flight to England.
I just wish the pens lasted abit longer as some have already run out of ink
Rachel E.4/5
Amazing!
The best thing I’ve bought for my daughter. Kept her entertained for ages on the plane, at dinner or just at home. Would highly recommend if you have a child that enjoys colouring
Cassie W.5/5
Genius product!
We LOVE our doodlemat! This has been the best purchase for our overseas holiday. Miss 5 is really into her drawing and colouring, so this has been amazing for airport waits, restaurant mealtimes, even poolside play! One little bag holds hours of entertainment (and peace and quiet for mum & dad!). We will definitely be buying more!
Rhiannon W.5/5
Best thing since sliced bread
I purchased our Hey Doodle after a recommendation from a friend. We have a holiday coming up and thought it would be perfect for the plane ride.
It turns out it's perfect for anytime! My daughter busts it out every day and I love the markers and easy wipe clean. I actually find it fun to do with her also, which is a bonus.
I'm thinking about buying a different design for options.
5/5 definitely recommend

Love love love
HeyDoodle is my favourite brand of silicon colouring Mat we take them everywhere especially the pub! Great distraction to keep the kidddies occupied
Emily C.5/5
My niece loves it
I gave this to my niece for her 4th birthday. She pick it up time and time again over the next few days and really enjoyed tracing the letters.
Turns out it's good to have two on hand in case a friend comes over.
I reckon they need to be washed within a day of colouring to be properly clean but that's pretty normal for reusable colouring stuff, I think.

Our daughter is 15 months old, the Hey Doodle mat kept her entertained on her first flight. We counted animals, named animals, identified numbers while counting, asked her to point to different animals, cover our hands over different animals seeing if she remembered what was underneath and of coursed coloured in! Cannot recommend this product enough, compact (taking up no room in our carry on) and so easy to clean and continue to use!
