Montessori info
Using a placemat as a defined area of work for kids aligns beautifully with the Montessori philosophy. It provides a sense of order and structure while promoting focus and concentration. The placemat serves as a visual boundary, allowing children to understand and respect their workspace. By having a designated area, they develop a sense of ownership and responsibility for their activities.
Additionally, the placemat enhances organization skills as children learn to arrange their materials within the given space. This simple practice fosters independence, cultivates a sense of purpose, and nurtures their innate desire for order and harmony, all essential aspects of the Montessori approach.
The placemat is easy to clean with a wet wipe or a wash.

Thankyou for this beautiful mat. My fussy eater was so excited when she saw it. Mum, mum “fork please”, “spoon please”, “plate please”.
She thinks it’s so fun setting up her own meals that I find she is receptive to trying new foods and eating more.

Everything you need in a placemat
We were looking for a silicone placemat that was large enough to allow our bubby to use for mealtimes and playtimes, had raised edges to help contain the mess, and was thick enough to stick to our wooden table. The Montessori Mates placemat was the only one that ticked all the boxes, with the added bonus that they were an Australian company. Very happy with our purchase!
