Our Play Pads in Action
Welcome to Pretend Paper Co.
We began in the in-between moments of family life. Between nursery pick-ups and snack requests. I wanted to encourage imaginative play, but didn't always have the time or energy to set it up.
So I created pretend play notepads that children can just use. No printing. No laminating. No late-night Pinterest rabbit holes.
Simply engaging pretend play, without adding extra work to your day.

Each Pretend Play Pad includes:
- 1 x A6 glued tear-off pad (50 sheets)
- 3 matching menu/inspiration postcards
- 1 mini pencil
Everything they need to open and start playing straight away.

Are your pads of good quality?
Yes - quality matters to us.
Our pads are printed on thick 100gsm recycled paper, glued at the top like a real grown-up notepad, and designed to withstand enthusiastic little hands.
The accompanying postcards are also printed on thick 300gsm recycled card.
They’re designed and printed in the UK.
Are the designs UK-specific?
Yes.
All of our pads are created with UK families in mind - using pounds (£), British spellings, and familiar everyday references.
Small details make play feel more real.
Are these reusable? / Help, I have run out of inspiration postcards.
Each pad contains 50 tear-off sheets, giving plenty of play opportunities. Children often enjoy replaying scenarios in different ways each time, especially across different themes.
If you need replacement inspiration cards, email us at hello@pretendpaper.co, and we will send you a free downloadable version to print at home.
Are they suitable for independent play?
Absolutely.
Many parents tell us the pads encourage independent play - especially when paired with toys or play kitchens children already own.
They’re designed to feel realistic and 'official', which often helps children immerse themselves in the role.
(And that often buys you a precious half hour.)
What if there’s a problem with my order?
We want you to love your purchase.
