What is the Montessori silicone placemat made of?
The Montessori silicone placemat is made of high-quality, food-grade silicone that is free from BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, making it safe for children to use.
How does the Montessori silicone placemat benefit my child?
The Montessori silicone placemat is designed to help children learn table manners and practice fine motor skills, such as scooping and pouring, as they eat. It also helps them develop independence as they learn to set their own place at the table.
Is the Montessori silicone placemat easy to clean?
Yes it is! Just wipe down, hand wash or wash in the top rack of your dishwasher. Please note, that if you use strong detergent, it may leave the smell trapped, so we recommend using a milder solution instead.
Why is silicone safe for baking and cooking?
Food-safe silicone is safe for baking and cooking because it is a non-toxic and inert material that does not react with food or release harmful chemicals when exposed to heat. It can also withstand high temperatures without breaking down.
