Aplainr Proud Montessori Placemat | Set of 2

The pattern on these silicone mats is flawed. It looks like it will flake off, but I've rubbed it and it does not flake off, but there are areas where the pattern is not printed.

These mats are great! They are silicone and not hard plastic, so they won’t crack like other place mats my kids have used. My kids (ages 3 and 5) love putting their plate and utensils on the coordinating spots on the mat. These have helped keep our table clean and also deterred my toddler from scratching the table with his fork.
They are also very easy to wipe clean!

I’m a first time mom, so I feel like I’ve tried every baby/toddler product on the market trying to find the best of each for my kiddo. We stopped bringing our portable highchair out be just use restaurant high chairs when needed, but my toddler is still a hot mess when eating. So until recently, I had been using the disposable adhesive plastic placemats. And while they worked fine, they were a pain to get the adhesive backing off of and I felt like I was slowly destroying the planet. The busy baby placemats are a bit small for my almost 2 year old and also don’t stick to most surfaces really well. This placement however is a godsend! It’s heavy and has a natural adhesive property. It’s also super easy to just wipe clean. So this is what I’ve added to my diaper bag most recently and I was able to stop using all of the disposables.

These Montessori Placemats are a fantastic tool for helping toddlers and kids learn table-setting skills in a fun and practical way. Made from high-quality, food-grade silicone, these placemats are durable, easy to clean, and perfect for everyday use. The Montessori-inspired design features a clear visual layout for where utensils, plates, and cups belong, promoting independence and table etiquette for little ones. This set of 2 placemats is ideal for parents, teachers, or caregivers looking to integrate hands-on learning into mealtime. Its non-slip surface keeps everything in place, making it a great addition to Montessori homes or classrooms.

Overall, my wife and I are happy with this product. The most important factor for us is that these do a good job of protecting our (recent) investment in a new dining table; our younger one especially has been known to take a fork to the table, and this placemat at a minimum avoids that from happening. The mats are a nice, thick silicone, with the added bonus being that they do prove to be pretty much non-slip; the older placemats that we had tried were just too thin and light to stay in front of the kids with any rigor.
The reason why I took a star off in the end is two-fold:
1. The design was more meh in nature. I expected the patterns to be a bit more solid, but they do kind of blend into the background and provide for more of a rustic feel, which wasn't the best from an overall decor perspective with our home, which feels a bit simpler and more modern in general.
2. My wife and I actually aren't huge fans of the hole that exists on the placemat (which is actually described as a positive functionality on the product page). Especially with this being meant for kids, we need to wipe it down frequently, and the hole means that crumbs fall through it onto the table, making it a lot more difficult to do so. The silicone itself is also pretty sticky in nature, so using the wipes is in itself already a bit more of a chore; the holes made it that much more difficult for us to manuever around.
Overall, we would still recommend this product, especially if you plan on washing this more with running water (vs. the wipes that we frequently use in our case). It is a solid silicone-based placemat for kids.

LOVE these placemats! Not only are the designs beautiful and simple, they do not slide! My toddler would slide his placemat everywhere, defeating the purpose and getting food everywhere. This material allows it ot stay in one spot. They clean very easily!

Used these for my toddler for activities and meals. Easy clean up and these wash well. Nice to use for protecting your table also. I have a wooden table that food can easily get stuck in between the boards. These mats prevent that from happening! Nice size to where you can easily have a plate or paper for coloring on there with some room leftover.Comes in fun designs and color options.

These silicone placemats are nice and sturdy. They are thicker than other silicone place mats we previously bought, so it feels more robust while still flexible. Like more silicone products, these mats are easy to clean and use. These placemats also have built-in holes in one corner for hanging them on pegs to dry - this is a nice touch, but personally, I would just dry them immediately with a towel. Overall, these are good placemats and perfect for any baby/toddler.

These stick very well to granite counter tops. They don't however stick very well to wood tables. Still Great for easy cleanups and from preventing my Littles from pushing their plates off

Great mats for my kids! Easy to clean and buried durable!
