HeyDoodle Mat | Icons of Aotearoa

$46.95
Welcome to Icons of Aotearoa! Designed by a leading New Zealand Artist for the New Zealand market, our unique everything that's New Zealand and if you live away from New Zealand, everything that will remind you of home with their Te Reo and English names, are a great way to learn some basic Te Reo.

Te Reo has been checked and verified by a leading Māori educator who teaches schools and businesses how to integrate Te Reo Māori into their values and how to practice using Māori tikanga principles. Children learn Te Reo while colouring in (with whiteboard markers - which are supplied) pictures of our amazing wildlife.
The best part is when they are finished - wipe with a damp cloth, and they can start again. DRAW ERASE AND REPEAT!

Are the pens non-toxic?
The product contains no substances which at their given concentration and intended use are considered to be hazardous to health. However we strongly advise parental supervision for children who are still mouthing and have the tendency to ingest the ink.

My mat is staining, what do I do?
We recommend removing the colour off the mats at least within a day or two of colouring. If you find your colours are not coming off completely with a damp microfibre cloth, a squirt of hand sanitiser will do the trick (and keep it germ free).

Will the pen ink stain clothing?
These markers are manufactured for our silicone mats and designed to be removable off non-porous surfaces. We cannot guarantee the complete removal of ink stains on materials other than our mats, particularly surfaces that are highly absorbent in nature. We recommend our products for children aged 3 and above.
