They do make great gifts. Children and adults like them in my experience. If you put pockets for the eraser and chalk and a strip or ribbon folded in half tacked to the center of one side, you can roll them up and tie.
Great to take on trips (fits nicely in a back of front seat carrier thing), to the doctor's office, restaurant ...any place a child needs to be kept quiet and entertained.
Even a small size, like 6 or 8 inches, that fits in a purse, works great. This stuff came along after my children were grown, but my grandchildren have loved it and still do.
Put a birthday fabric or design on the back, and chalk cloth on the front and put the child's name on and you have a card and a present all in one.
Use the full 48" and make a play mat. Children love to sprawl on their stomachs and share this.
