Pokemon TCG Mat

My daughter came up with this project: a vinyl playing mat for Pokemon card tournaments.

Tips:

1
In an effort to bond with my 10-year-old, I’ve been trying to get a handle on her longtime obsession: Pokemon. She competes at the tournament level and wanted to create a playing mat. She thought vinyl would be the best choice, since it’s more durable than paper and won’t fray like fabric.  Creative little gal, no?

How to:

1
We tested a few different markers and pens, and she loved the way the metallic PenTouch shimmered. Once dry, it won’t budge… we even tried cleaning an “oops” mark with water and then alcohol, and it was there to stay.

2
If you or your child would like to make one, take a look at the pictures for correct placement of the different card areas. Check out this Pokemon TCG PDF to see the labels you’ll need to write.

3
Or, get creative, and have your little boy draw a race track for his Hot Wheels, or a farm for his animals. Roll it up and throw it in a tote bag for portable playtime!
