Our materials:

Benefits of doodling:
- Foster creativity and concentration
- Fine motor skills
- Exposure to themes
- literacy, numeracy, science, geography
- Develop social skills as your child colours, chats and connects with others

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.
