The Modern-twist silicone mark mat is ideal for providing kids with a clean eating surface while nurturing their inner artist. This reusable placemat features a playful Alphabet Animals design that a child can color with dry-erase markers (sold separately). After each use, the mark mat can be made like new with a wipe from a damp cloth or a rinse--it can be colored again and again. The inspiring, functional, and safe design will delight parents looking for the perfect placemat to use on tabletops at home, at restaurants, or on the go. Busy parents can roll up the flexible mat for easy portability without damaging it--the mat will not crease or rip. Like all Modern-twist products, the mark mat is made from FDA-approved food-grade silicone, an anti-microbial, nonporous material produced from natural elements that is free of BPA, PVC, lead, latex, phthalates, and other harsh chemicals. Modern-twist believes that what your children eat on is as important as what they eat. This is an eco-chic placemat that"s safe for people and the planet. The mark mat is heat resistant up to 425 degrees but should not be used as a trivet. After use, a simple wipe down is the only requirement to prevent staining. It"s even dishwasher-safe. These mats were put through a wash stress test of one thousand washes and still came out looking beautiful. The Alphabet Animals artwork on the meal mat has been designed by an independent artist and silk-screened on to the silicone by hand, furthering the Modern-twist mission to provide home products with aesthetically inspiring designs that are made from pioneering materials. The Modern-twist reusable silicone mark mat measures 16 inches by 12 inches. Do not use as a trivet. Wipe or rinse after use and clean spills promptly to prevent staining.
