Wipeable craft mats that protect tables from paint, glue, and glitter

Craft time should not end with scrubbing the table. Studio Huske craft mats are made from silicone leather, a surface that paint, glue, plaster, and glitter wipe off without staining. No more sacrificial tablecloths. No more bin bags taped to the kitchen table.

The Roam Square (98 x 98 cm) sits flat on desks and tables with clean edges. The Roam Round (105 cm diameter) covers a round table or a generous floor workspace. The Gallivant (135 x 180 cm) handles birthday parties, group crafts, and the kind of projects where paint somehow reaches the ceiling.

From finger painting to watercolours

Toddlers smearing paint with their hands. Five-year-olds gluing googly eyes on everything. Older children building papier-mache volcanoes that drip paste across the table. The mat handles all of it because silicone leather is non-porous. Wet paint sits on the surface instead of soaking in, so you can wipe it off or let it dry and peel it away.

Why silicone leather for crafts?

Fabric mats absorb paint permanently. Plastic sheets crack and slide. Newspaper sticks to wet glue. Silicone leather avoids all three. Acrylic paint peels off when dry. PVA glue lifts in sheets. Even permanent marker comes off with rubbing alcohol. The surface is OEKO-TEX Class 1 certified, so it is safe for children to touch with bare hands during messy play.

Cleaning craft materials

Most craft supplies wipe off with a damp cloth while still wet. For dried-on paint, let it fully dry and peel it off. Some specifics:

• Acrylic paint: let dry, peel off. Or wipe while wet.
• Watercolour: rinse under the tap.
• PVA glue: let dry, peel off in sheets.
• Permanent marker: rub off with isopropyl alcohol.
• Glitter: shake off. Residue wipes away with a damp cloth.
• Playdough and clay: let dry, brush off.

Do not use bleach. For general cleaning, warm water and a drop of soap is enough.

Frequently asked questions

Will acrylic paint stain the mat?
No. Acrylic paint does not bond to silicone leather. Let it dry and peel it off, or wipe it while still wet.

Can I cut on it?
Light craft cutting is fine. For heavy-duty cutting with a craft knife, use a dedicated cutting mat underneath.

Which size for a school desk?
The Roam Square (98 x 98 cm) fits standard school and homework desks.

Does slime come off?
Yes. Slime peels off silicone leather cleanly. Let it dry first for the easiest removal.

Can I use it for sensory play?
Shaving cream, sand, water beads, foam: all wipe off. The surface is non-porous and OEKO-TEX certified, so it is safe for skin contact.

These mats double as splat mats under high chairs and high chair mats for mealtimes. See the full range of wipeable mats.
