Eat-on Art

San Francisco based Modern-twist brings art from independent artists to our kids' tables minus any BPA, lead, latex, phthalates or other chemicals. Their Kidz Placemats made from food-grade, hand silk-screened silicone and the Kidz box come with a set of washable pens for little artists (pronounced with a french accent) to color while they eat. They roll up for travel and are easy to wash off with a sponge.
My daughter was given one by a family member on the eve of me doing research about exactly what is in my daughter's previous laminated placemat. If the fact that I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere on what laminate materials are actually made of is an indicator of anything, I'm guessing that it's that laminate is potentially dangerous to tiny mouths and bodies.

Clean eats

I tested this Tiny Diner mat out the other day at a restaurant and it worked pretty nicely. I was able to lay down snack food and toys without having to wipe down a slimy table first. It even has a little food-catcher area that hangs off the table. It wasn't fool-proof, but saved some pieces from the floor. Several suction cups kept it on the table with no problems. Made by Summer Infant. BPA, PVC and latex-free.
