The Sanity-Saving Travel Hack Every Parent Needs This School Holidays

Let’s be honest…

The words “school holidays” can strike fear and joy in equal measure. On one hand: lazy mornings, adventures, memory-making. On the other: snack prep on loop, “I’m boooored” on repeat, and the relentless soundtrack of “Muuuuuum, watch this!”

You love them. Of course you do. But sometimes? You just want to drink a hot coffee without it turning into an Olympic sport.

At bathcrayons.com.au, we get it. We’re in the trenches with you.

That’s why everything we create—whether it’s our iconic bath crayons or our bestselling reusable silicone seek-n-spot colouring mats—comes from one core belief:

• 👉 Family life should be lighter.
• 👉 Parenting should be easier.
• 👉 And YOU deserve a break, too.
