Full details
The Eatsleepdoodle Butterfly Colouring Placemat is a creative and educational tool designed for children who love wildlife and nature. It provides a unique interactive experience at the dining table, helping to develop fine motor skills through coloring while teaching kids about different butterfly species from around the world. While the mat is highly engaging and reusable, users should note that it requires periodic washing to reset the design, which may disrupt ongoing long-term artistic projects.

FAQs
Can I use regular felt-tip markers on this?
No, you should only use the provided fabric markers. Regular markers may not wash out and could permanently stain the cotton.
Does the mat come with the markers?
Yes, every set includes a pack of 10 washable fabric markers.
Can the placemat be tumble dried?
It is recommended to air dry the placemat for longevity, though it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting if necessary.
Is the ink safe for children?
Yes, the markers are non-toxic and designed specifically for child use.
What is the age recommendation?
This product is suitable for children aged 3 and up due to small marker parts.
Can I buy replacement markers?
Yes, Eatsleepdoodle offers replacement fabric marker sets compatible with all their colouring products.
Troubleshooting
Ink not washing out completely
Ensure the water temperature is warm enough, as the special ink is heat-activated for removal.
Markers drying out
Always replace the caps securely immediately after use to prevent the ink from evaporating.
Placemat sliding on the table
Place a thin, non-slip silicone mat or a damp paper towel underneath the placemat to improve grip on polished surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, simply unfold the placemat on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the child uses the included fabric markers, as other types of pens may not wash out. When finished with a coloring session, simply shake off any crumbs. For cleaning, place the mat in a warm wash cycle. The mat is durable, but avoid using harsh bleaches to preserve the integrity of the printed design. If the placemat becomes wrinkled, a light steam iron can be used on the cotton setting to keep it laying perfectly flat.
