Silicone Placemat – Space

Doubles as a learning tool — every planet labeled, scaled in order.

A silicone placemat in Space — solar system diagram with planet names on navy. Non-slip backing keeps it in place on the table. Easy wipe-clean surface for the inevitable spills. About 17 x 12 inches — sized for a kid's place setting.

The placemat in detail

Single-piece molded silicone. The printed design is cured into the surface — won't peel or wash off. Roll it up to fit in a diaper bag for restaurant meals. Wipes clean with a damp cloth, dishwasher safe for deeper cleans.

Material & care

• Food-grade silicone
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified
• Dishwasher safe (top rack)
• Non-slip backing

Frequently asked

Will my baby's plate suction to it? No — silicone-on-silicone doesn't seal. Use the placemat as a clean surface; place the plate directly on the table for suction.

How do you clean it? Wipe with a damp cloth for day-to-day. Dishwasher for weekly deep cleans.

Does it roll for travel? Yes — flexible silicone rolls and unrolls flat without creasing.

The placemat in detail

The Placemat Space print is on the silicone surface, cured into the material. The non-slip backing is integral to the placemat — a textured silicone surface that grips most table finishes. The placemat lays flat (no curl at the corners after a year of rolling for storage).

Sized at roughly 17 x 12 inches — wider than a kid's place setting but smaller than a full adult placemat. Fits most high-chair tray surfaces and most kid-seat areas at family tables.

Use cases beyond mealtime

The placemat doubles as a clean surface for craft projects (Play-Doh, finger painting, sticker activities). The silicone wipes clean of most craft materials with a damp cloth. Some families use it as a bath-toy drying mat or a snack-station base in a kitchen drawer.

The Placemat Space print also works as a teaching tool — the Breakfast placemat has plate-and-cutlery placement guides; the Space placemat has labeled planets in solar-system order.

Care

Top-rack dishwasher safe for weekly deep cleans. Damp cloth for day-to-day. Avoid bleach — it can degrade the silicone over time.

How the placemat fits into mealtimes

For families using suction plates, the placemat sits beside or under the plate (not under it — silicone-on-silicone doesn't seal). For families using regular dishware, the placemat is the primary mess-containment layer. For travel and restaurants, roll it into a diaper bag side pocket — it unrolls flat without creasing.

The placemat works on most table surfaces. The non-slip backing grips wood, formica, glass, and most painted surfaces. It does not grip cloth tablecloths or other silicone surfaces. The print stays put through the meal even with a toddler dragging dishes across it.

Beyond mealtime — the other uses

Customer notes consistently report secondary uses: bath-toy drying mat, craft surface for Play-Doh and paint sessions, place to set wet bottles or formula scoops in a kitchen drawer, anti-slip drawer liner. The silicone is food-safe across all these uses; the Placemat Space print is the same whether the placemat is at the table or under a bath toy.

Sizing

About 17 x 12 inches. Wider than a kid's place setting, smaller than an adult placemat. Fits most high-chair tray surfaces (covers the eating area without overhang). Sized for a kid's chair at a family table.
