How it compares
| Other Retailers | ||
|---|---|---|
| Included tool | Comes with a wooden stylus made for the pad, sized for little hands | Generic scratch pads are sometimes sold with a plastic stylus or none at all, leaving you to source your own |
| Age design | Suggested for ages 3 to 7, with a mess free scratch mechanism rather than paint or pens | Cheaper art sets aimed at the same age often rely on paint or felt tips, which need supervision and clean up |
| What is in the box | A bound pad of multiple scratch sheets plus the stylus, sized 26cm x 19.5cm, so nothing else needs buying | Some lookalike pads are sold as loose sheets only, so you need to buy a stylus or extra paper separately |
| Maker | Made by Jaques of London, a family owned British company making games since 1795 | Generic imports are typically unbranded, with no history or accountability behind the product |
Questions parents ask
how do I know which Jaques scratch pad to get for my kid
This one is the Rainbow Scratch Pad, suited to ages 3 to 7. It comes with a wooden stylus sized for little hands, and the pad measures 26cm x 19.5cm, so it works for a small table or a car tray. There is no paint or pens involved, so it suits younger children who are not ready for messy art supplies yet. If your child is older, check the age range against 3 to 7 before buying.
what makes the colours appear when you scratch it
Each sheet in the pad has rainbow colours hidden underneath a top layer. When the wooden stylus scratches the surface, it removes that layer and reveals the colour beneath, so a plain looking page turns into a coloured design. This is why it is called a scratch art pad rather than a normal drawing pad. No paint, pens or ink are needed to make this work.
is this scratch art pad actually mess free
Yes. The pad works by scratching away a top layer to reveal colour underneath, so there is no paint, pens or ink involved at any stage. This means no wet materials, no drying time and no clean up afterwards. It is designed as mess free fun, which suits use at a table indoors or on the move without extra supplies.
does the scratch pad come with a stylus or do I need to buy one
It comes with a wooden stylus included in the box, designed to be easy and safe for children to hold and use. You do not need to buy pens, paint or any separate scratching tool. The set is just the bound pad of scratch sheets plus the stylus, so it is ready to use straight away.
what age can a child start using a scratch art pad
Jaques suggests this pad for ages 3 to 7. It is designed to be safe and stimulating for that range, with a wooden stylus sized for smaller hands rather than a sharp tool. Because there is no paint or pens, it also suits younger children who cannot yet manage wetter art materials without supervision.
what size is the Jaques scratch art pad
The pad measures 26cm x 19.5cm, and it is a bound pad containing multiple scratch sheets rather than a single sheet. This makes it compact enough for a table, a bag or a car journey. Everything needed comes in the one pad plus the included wooden stylus, so no extra space or equipment is required to use it.
is a scratch art pad a good gift for a young child
It suits budding artists and curious creators from around age 3 to 7, and everything needed is included: the bound scratch pad and a wooden stylus. There is no paint, pens or clean up required, so it can be given and used straight away without extra shopping. Jaques of London has made games and activities since 1795, which some buyers look for in a gift.
does scratching the pad help with a child's motor skills
Jaques lists it as helping build fine motor skills, since guiding the wooden stylus to scratch precise lines and shapes takes coordination and control. This is different to free scribbling with a crayon, because the scratching motion is more deliberate. It also encourages creative expression through colours, patterns and shapes as each sheet is revealed.
