Coloring Mat FAQs

Our reusable silicone coloring mats are designed to make creativity easy, engaging, and fun—at home or wherever your adventures take you.

How do the coloring mats work?

Simply color the mat using the included washable markers, wipe it clean, and start again. Each design includes playful illustrations and activities that encourage creativity and screen-free play.

What kind of markers should I use?

Use the markers included with your mat or washable markers intended for reusable silicone surfaces. Do not use permanent markers, paint markers, crayons, or colored pencils.

How do I clean the mat?

Wipe the mat with a damp cloth after each use. For a deeper cleaning, use warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Cleaning the mat soon after coloring will give you the best results.

Will the markers stain?

Some marker colors may leave a faint shadow if they remain on the mat for an extended period. We recommend wiping the mat clean shortly after use and testing any markers that were not included with your mat.

Are the mats reusable?

Yes! Our mats are made to be colored, cleaned, and enjoyed again and again.

What ages are the coloring mats for?

The mats are designed for children who enjoy coloring, games, puzzles, and imaginative activities. Younger children should use the mats and markers with adult supervision.

Are all the coloring mat designs the same?

No. Each theme features its own illustrations and activities, so children can enjoy a different experience with every design. Collect several designs to rotate at home, while traveling, or during quiet time.

Are the mats good for travel?

Absolutely! The flexible mats can be rolled for easy storage and are perfect for restaurants, road trips, airplanes, waiting rooms, and visits with family. Avoid folding the mat, as rolling helps it retain its shape.

How should I store my coloring mat?

Make sure the mat is clean and dry, then roll it loosely and store it in its packaging or another protected place. Keep it away from sharp objects and excessive heat.

What can the mats be used for?

Our coloring mats are wonderful for quiet time, family activities, classrooms, restaurants, travel, playdates, gifts, and screen-free entertainment.
