Good to know

£0.07 a day over five years on the craft table.

Buy it once. Built to outlast years of daily use, with no replacement to budget for.

Independently tested for more than 30 PFAS compounds, none detected.

Independently lab tested: coffee, soy sauce and poster paint wipe off to a perfect score. Curry is the honest limit at 4 out of 5.

Age: 0 to 99. From playdough to homework to the sewing machine.

The mat the craft table has been waiting for

It goes down for the painting and nobody gets round to taking it off again. Acrylic paint, spray paint, playdough, concrete, plaster, glitter, food: it doesn't care. It wipes clean in seconds and looks the same afterwards.

At 98 × 98 cm it doesn't sit rigid on the floor. It drapes over table edges and chair legs, catching mess at the corners and sides, where it actually falls.

The lab numbers below show how the finished silicone leather surface holds up.

What's inside?

A fine polyester knit between two layers of silicone. More on the material below.

What is silicone leather? Full guide to play mat materials →

Silicone leather has a fabric base with a silicone coating on both sides. Not vinyl, not PU, not foam. One continuous piece with no seams, no tags, no stitching. Nothing to trap food, nothing to fail over time.

Free from PVC, BPA, and phthalates.

What that means in use:

  • Stain resistant: pigment doesn't penetrate the surface
  • Self-extinguishing: no chemical flame retardant needed
  • Hot-surface tolerant: sits safely near cookers and on underfloor heating
  • Cold resistant: doesn't stiffen or crack
  • UV-stable: doesn't degrade in direct sun

Full certification and test documentation:

  • OEKO-TEX Standard 100/1, the class for products in direct contact with a baby's skin
  • Physiologically inert, doesn't react with skin or food
  • Allergic dye tested
  • Radon tested, no off-gassing indoors
  • Chemical hazard tested
  • ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer

Designed in Switzerland, made in Korea, built for years of daily use.

Care
Wipe with a damp cloth for daily use. For a full reset, submerge in the sink. The textured underside catches dust over time and a soak clears it. Mild soap is fine. No bleach. Machine wash on the gentlest cycle (wool/delicates) works, but hand-wash is better for the mat long-term.

Also worth knowing:

  • 98 × 98 cm sits square on a desk or spans half a dining table
  • Right-angle edges line up with desks and rectangular tables
  • Dual-tone finish: always know which side was last on the table
  • Non-slip base grips through active craft sessions
  • Folds flat in two directions
  • Compatible with underfloor heating

For help choosing the right size, see our size guide.

We'll send our complete care guide to your inbox a few days after your order.

Child with popsicle on Roam Square silicone baby play mat, wipeable craft mat for messy activities

The one on the craft table

Mary F. in Switzerland: “I have been using the mat for different purpose and I have to say it worths completely! Great material, design and use!”

This is the mat that lives where the making happens. Paint goes on, glue dries, glitter scatters, and none of it reaches the wood underneath. No scrubbing, no ruined table, no reason to hover. When the session ends it stays right where it is, looking like it belongs on the table.

The one that never leaves the table

Dario E. in Switzerland says the mat always comes with them, and that it helps in every situation children can come up with.

A lot of customers buy the Roam Square for crafts and then never put it away. It becomes the everyday table protector. Same mat, from Sunday painting to Monday breakfast to Tuesday homework.

The one that goes to the birthday party

Sabina B. in Switzerland has bought the mat as a gift more than once, because it is so practical, and for the colours.

750 g. Folds flat into a bag. The Roam Square travels to playdates, birthday party craft tables, and grandparents’ houses without anyone noticing it’s there until a child needs a surface.

Must Have Multipurpose Mat

Fantastic multipurpose mat that you can use anywhere. I have a 3 & 5 yo so we use it for arts & crafts, playdoh, nail polish & eating on. Folds up nicely, so we even bring it on trips. So handy that it's machine washable too, unlike previous mats where we'd only get several use and would have to bin them, so not great for the environment. Must have item. Thanks Huske!

Thanks so very much for taking the time to leave this feedback Tricia, so appreciated, I'm delighted to hear it! Warm regards from Zürich, Kate

No more messy floors/tables

I got the activity mat, after try so many different options to keep the floor clean after Emma started solids.
We were so tired to clean the floor 3 times per day.
The worst is rice... what do you do? Do you wait to it dries and yoy hoover? Or you run to clean it when it stills wet? It's a bug dilemma that we couldn't figure it out. With the activity mat we just needed to wipe it with a damp cloth or rise it and voilá! Instant cleaning!.
This was a lifesaver on those days, now we use it when we travel when we want to avoid Emma touches the floor, or to sit when something it's wet... it's just fabulous.
At home we use it as a mat/table cloth when we do sensory activities or when I'm creative and paint or make bath bombs!.

This review is so on point in terms of where these products got started! I really thought: surely there must be an easier way! Thanks Jen, really appreciate your feedback and support, Kate

Absolute Kaufempfehlung - wir lieben sie!

Die Matte ist super! Sie ist dünn, wirklich einfach zu reinigen, sieht cool aus und extrem vielseitig einsetzbar. Wenn ich mir etwas wünschen könnte, wäre es das sie nicht quadratisch sonder rechteckig ist, da besonders das essen neben dem TrippTrapp runter fällt. So hätte man noch eine etwas idealere Fläche abgedeckt. Aber auch so macht sie einen wundervollen job. Wir werden auch ein Tischset (Placemat) dazu kaufen, aber ich hoffe noch auf neue Farben (vielleicht ein königsblau?;))
Der Preis ist aus meiner Sicht gerechtfertigt, da man die Matte sehr sehr lange und für viele verschiedene Dinge einsetzen kann.

Herzlichen Dank Dominique- ich schätze es so sehr, und nehme das Feedback im Bezug auf dem Format und die weiteren Farben gerne entgegen! Ganz liebe Grüsse, Kate

Without it: newspaper on the table, towels on the floor, and the craft box that stays shut because you cannot face what comes after.

With a Roam Square: everything wipes off. The table underneath is fine. No laundry, no newspaper, no drama.

Without it: baking with a grandchild sounds lovely until the flour is on the chair and the egg is on the floor. Out of practice with small hands, you end up doing most of it yourself.

With a Roam Square: the mess stays on the mat. They crack the eggs and you let them. Afterwards the whole lot goes into the sink, mat included.

Takes the place of the craft sheet, the table protector, and the splat mat, so the table only ever needs one thing on it.

Roam Square silicone baby play mat design, two-toned anti-slip base and smooth wipe-clean top, 98 x 98 cm

Silicone leather, made for the craft table

The working face of this silicone leather craft mat is non-porous silicone. Poster paint, playdough and glitter sit on top until a damp cloth lifts them off. Water from a knocked-over jar stays a puddle on top, and the wood underneath stays dry.

Soft and finely grained, it feels closer to a leather desk pad than a tablecloth. It has weight and give, so it drapes over the table edge instead of lifting at the corners.

Plenty of Roam Squares never leave the table and stay on as a silicone table mat under homework or the sewing machine. The textured underside grips the table, so the mat stays put while someone writes on it.

Inside: a fine knitted polyester core.

Like most leather-look materials, silicone leather is built on a fabric. Here it's a thin knit you can just see at a cut edge, between two layers of silicone. It gives the mat its body and its drape. The side your paint lands on and the side that meets your table are both silicone.

Made to a standard

Babies lie on it, crawl on it, drool on it and sooner or later chew a corner. That is why every mat is made under OEKO-TEX Standard 100/1, the class for baby articles, safe for newborn skin and mouth contact. Every Studio Huske mat is independently tested and certified. Here's what the labels actually mean.

A note from Kate

I tried the plant-based leathers first. I wanted one of them to win.

Beeswax-coated cotton stops repelling anything once the wax wears off, and a mat you cannot wipe clean is not much of a mat. Apple leather is a third to a half polyurethane, so the plastic was doing the work, not the apples. Mushroom leather was the one I really wanted, and the companies making it closed.

So I chose silicone leather. I have mats from 2021 that still look new.

That was the brief from the start. Most things made for children run on planned obsolescence: a size, a season, a stage, then a replacement. This mat has none of those. There is nothing to outgrow, only uses that change, and it arrives in paper and cardboard you can recycle. It is the opposite of hedonic consumption, the quick buy that feels good on the day and is forgotten by the weekend. Fewer things to buy, wash, store and think about. I am not against owning things, I am against owning them twice.

This one goes on the table and tends to stay there. People buy it for craft and then quietly stop putting it away.

KateFounder, Studio Huske

Things worth knowing

It arrives with fold lines.

All folded mats do. Lay it flat on the table and use it. The creases fade with use, not just time. Daily craft sessions sort it out within a week.

It can bunch on thick carpet.

The Roam Square sits best on hard floors, tables, and thin rugs. On thick carpet, smooth it flat when you lay it down. The 750g weight helps it stay put on most surfaces.

One reviewer wished it were rectangular.

Fair point. Square was chosen because its straight edges line up with desks and square tables. For wider splash coverage under high chairs, the Roam Round (105 cm ø) catches more from the sides.

It can mark a sealed or lacquered floor.

One customer reported a circular colour change on their floor. That is one report and I have not worked out the cause. If your floor is sealed or lacquered, lift the mat now and then rather than leaving it in one spot for months.

The colour may not look like it does on your screen.

No screen shows it exactly. The colour you live with is the smooth side that faces up. If it arrives and it is not what you pictured, it goes back within 60 days, clean, undamaged and in its original packaging.

Care & Info

Care instructions

Daily cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth or wet wipe.

After crafts: Wipe paint and glue off promptly. Most substances lift easily from silicone.

Stubborn marks: Gentle soap and water.

Deep clean: Hand-wash gently. You can machine wash on your most gentle cycle (wool/delicates), but for maximum longevity, hand-wash.

Heat-proof: You can iron on it, place hot baking trays on it, use it as a surface for anything household-hot. The only exception: red-hot coals (BBQ embers) will burn through.

Do not: Dishwasher. High heat + food residue can coat the silicone surface with a film. If someone puts it in the dishwasher by mistake: submerge the mat in a pot of gently boiled water with washing-up liquid for 30 minutes, then rinse. The film lifts off.

Storage: In daily use, damp is fine as long as it is clean. For long-term storage, treat it like camping gear and store it dry. Or just leave it on the table.

Non-slip side: Always faces down. Will collect dust and hair (that’s it gripping). The fastest way to clean the grip side: submerge the mat in water. Dust, lint, and craft debris release instantly. Much quicker than wiping. On polished wood floors, clean periodically.

Dimensions and specs

Dimensions: 98 x 98 cm

Weight: 750g

Material: Silicone leather (100% silicone surface bonded to fibre fabric)

Certification: OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100/1

Origin: Designed in Switzerland. Made in Korea.

Colours: Yellow/Mocca, Peach/Green, Lilac/Red

How thick is it, and does it cushion?

Every Studio Huske mat is 0.7 mm thick. It won't cushion a fall the way a foam mat does, but it isn't hard like vinyl either: it feels soft underfoot and warm to the touch, and the leather-like grain is lovely to run a hand over. Being thin is what lets it fold into a bag or drape over the edge of a table, and it is tougher than the number suggests: the material is tested to 20,000 abrasion cycles.

What is the non-slip underside made of?

The same silicone as the top surface, finished with a texture so it grips instead of sliding. There is no rubber backing, no PU layer and no separate anti-slip coating. Smooth side up, grip side down.

Frequently asked questions

Will acrylic paint stain it?
No. Silicone leather resists staining from acrylic, watercolour, and most craft materials. Wipe promptly for best results. Unlike PU leather, it won’t absorb pigments.

Can I use it under a high chair?
Yes. Same function as the Roam Round but with square edges that sit neater in some kitchen layouts. 98 cm covers the core splash zone.

Is it safe for kids to touch while eating?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100/1 is the strictest textile safety certification, tested for harmful substances and approved for direct contact with baby skin.

Will it slide on the table during crafts?
The non-slip underside grips hard surfaces well. At 750g it stays put during even enthusiastic painting sessions.

Can I cut it to fit a specific table?
We don’t recommend cutting. The sealed edge prevents fraying. If you need a different shape, check the Roam Round (105 cm circle) or Wriggle (65 x 37 cm rectangle).

Does it smell?
No. Silicone leather is VOC-free. No chemical smell, even in a warm room.

Do the mats contain PFAS?
The finished fabric was independently tested for total fluorine and more than 30 individual PFAS compounds in the most recent testing round, none detected. Across two years of laboratory reports, not one individual PFAS compound has been detected. No test can prove an absolute, so the full numbers are published in the PFAS lab results article.
