San Francisco based Modern Twist commission Helen Lang to create these child friendly placemats.

The brief for the country maps was to illustrate each with identifiable objects including landmarks, animals, traditional icons and activities  - all in a fun and bold way. Helen says "The Seattle map brief was a little different in that I was asked to illustrate a city which loves its dogs, and which had to focus on dogs enjoying different aspects of the city, (it also was to include) the public market and activities on the sea front." The black line art designs have been silk-screened onto silicone so that a child can colour with dry-erase or washable markers. These reusable colouring placemats provide fun at mealtimes and are made from FDA-approved, food-grade, anti-microbial silicone. They are also dishwasher safe and can roll up for travelling without creasing or ripping.

Sounds like they'd be great for adults too!
