Product Information
Full details
The Eatsleepdoodle Tom Kitten Colouring Placemat is an ideal screen-free activity designed for children who love creative play, whether at the dinner table, during travel, or at home. This reusable cotton canvas mat helps improve fine motor skills through detailed colouring, offering an educational and eco-friendly alternative to disposable paper placemats. While it provides endless hours of engagement for young Beatrix Potter fans, users should note that it requires a machine wash cycle to clear the ink for subsequent use.

FAQs
Can I use other markers on the placemat?
We recommend using only the included fabric pens, as other types of markers may not wash out or could cause permanent staining.
What is the mat made of?
The placemat is made of high-quality, durable cotton canvas.
Does the ink transfer to clothes?
The ink is designed to dry quickly on the fabric, but it is best to ensure it is dry before placing the mat against clothing or furniture.
Is this product suitable for all ages?
The placemat is perfect for children, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children to ensure proper use of the pens.
Can I tumble dry the placemat?
Yes, you can tumble dry the placemat on a low heat setting.
Are replacement pens available?
Eatsleepdoodle offers fabric marker sets that are compatible with their range of colouring products.
Troubleshooting
Ink remains on the placemat after washing
Ensure the washing machine is set to 40 degrees Celsius and use a standard detergent. If faint traces remain, a second wash typically clears the surface.
Pen nibs are becoming dry
Ensure the pen caps are pushed on firmly until they click after every use to prevent the ink from evaporating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the placemat, simply remove it from the tote bag and lay it flat on any stable, dry surface. Ensure the child uses only the included washable fabric pens to avoid permanent marking from standard markers or permanent pens.
Care instructions are straightforward: once the placemat is fully coloured or you wish to start a new design, place it in a washing machine with a regular laundry load. Set the temperature to 40 degrees Celsius. The wash will remove the ink, and the mat should be air-dried or tumble-dried on low heat. Avoid using bleach, as it may degrade the screen-printed illustrations.
