Real talk
The gift that holds their attention without a screen
Every scratch reveals pure rainbow colour underneath. Kids scratch, watch the colours burst through, and immediately want to scratch again. It's tactile, it's instant reward, and there's no learning curve. They just scratch.
And you get an hour of uninterrupted time. No batteries, no setup, no guilt about screen time. Just focused, quiet, creative play.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London
What's in the box
What you're getting
The complete scratch art set, ready to use straight from the box. Everything a young artist needs to start playing in 10 seconds.
10 scratch art sheets
Each sheet is a fresh canvas. Scratch through the black surface and rainbow colours appear underneath. Kids can fill 10 sheets in an afternoon, or spread them out over weeks.
- ✓ Rainbow colours hidden beneath
- ✓ Thick cardboard backing
- ✓ Reusable if you want to trace again
Wooden stylus with grip handle
Small hand? Big hand? The grip fits both. Wood, not plastic. The stylus is chunky enough that young fingers can control pressure, fine enough to make detailed marks.
- ✓ Solid wood construction
- ✓ Sized for ages 3+
- ✓ No splinters, smooth finish
Scratch, reveal, keep or gift
No rules. Scratch patterns, scribbles, or the printed guide lines. Each design reveals the same rainbow underneath, so every child's version looks different and feels like their own masterpiece.
- ✓ Guided design templates included
- ✓ Or create your own patterns
- ✓ Display or frame the finished sheets

While they play
What grows while they play
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Fine motor control
Gripping the stylus and pressing hard enough to scratch builds hand strength and finger coordination. Kids aged 3-7 are in the window when this matters most.
Visual tracking
Watching colour appear as they scratch teaches cause and effect. The immediate feedback keeps them engaged and builds confidence.
Imaginative thinking
No 'right way' to scratch means kids invent their own designs. They're thinking about patterns, colours, and stories while their hands work.
Focused attention
Scratch art is absorbing. Kids sit quietly and work through a sheet. That's rare and valuable in a world of quick-hit stimulation.

Questions & answers
Questions grandparents and gift-buyers ask
Who is this for? Will my 4-year-old actually use it?
If they like colouring, stickers, or making things with their hands, they'll use this. The age range is 3 to 100. Small fingers grip the stylus easily. The instant rainbow reward keeps them scratching for 45 minutes to an hour. One parent told us their 3-year-old sat quietly and scratched all 10 sheets in a single afternoon.
How long do the sheets last? Will they run out in 20 minutes?
10 sheets is more than one afternoon. A typical child takes 30 minutes to an hour per sheet, depending on how detailed they scratch. Some kids fill sheets in bursts. Others spread one sheet over three days. The pad sits on the shelf and gets used as a quiet-time go-to.
Is it messy? Will there be black dust everywhere?
Minimal mess. The scratching creates tiny black flakes, but they stay mostly on the sheet and backing. No ink, no paint, no water. The wooden stylus doesn't splinter or mark walls or clothes. It's one of the cleanest craft activities out there.
What if my child doesn't like it? Can I return it?
Yes. 60-day returns, no receipt needed, no questions asked. If it's not right for your child or if the stylus is damaged, we'll swap it or refund you. Your money back or a different product sent to you at no extra cost.
How much does it cost?
The Rainbow Scratch Paper - Scratch Art Pad is £4.32 today (down from £6.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.
What's your returns policy?
30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story
Making toys worth keeping since 1795.
Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.
Jaques has been making toys for children since 1795. We've learned that the games kids return to most are the simple ones: a wooden piece, a clear rule, no batteries, no screens. Rainbow Scratch Paper is built on that same idea. Scratch through and colour appears. No learning curve. The reward is instant and tactile. A child's hand controls the pace and the outcome. That's why parents tell us their kids keep coming back to it, and why we made it here at Jaques.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
