Fun and durable - my new review

These are great placemats! My son (2yrs old) was so excited to see the fire truck and garbage truck!Each truck or 'item' has comical eyes added to make them appealing to little ones.These are easy to clean and do not slide around like other mats I have purchased. These also appear not to transfer any paint to the table if the bottom gets wet and then sticks to the table.So far really happy with these!

Pros
  • Helps Develop Fine Motor Skills – Encourages Kids to Practice Writing on it
Cons
  • May not be aesthetically pleasing to everyone

Great placemats! in my review

I am a homeschooling Mom and was really impressed by the size of these mats and the rubbery non-slip back. I put new ones on the table every night and the kids chat about their placemats while waiting for meals and snacks.they're playing but learning and don't even realize it!

Pros
  • Encourages Imagination – Sparks Children’s Curiosity and Interest
Cons
  • May not help to improve table manners

Durable, cleanable, functional

Very pleased with this set. This is the fourth brand I’ve tried and so far they’re holding up really well. They’re easy to wipe clean or wash with soap and water. The light texture on the back actually does grip the table and hold them in place (no more sliding and spills when the kids accidentally push them while getting up or sitting down at the table). Both my kids (age 3 and 6) enjoy the graphics. My oldest is even learning from them. They’re thick and firm enough that when my youngest…

Pros
  • Affordable – Offers Great Value for the Price
Cons
  • May have a limited lifespan

Works great - my new review

Sticks to the table, easy to clean. Only thing I wish is that the Opposites theme would maybe be the alphabet instead. Seems that would fit better with the Days of the Week, Months and Numbers.

Pros
  • Reusable – Can be used Multiple Times without Losing Quality
Cons
  • May not be safe for kids with certain allergies

Great placemats. - my new review

Grandson loves these placemats and the different educational variety of vehicles, construction etc. on them. His parents very happy they stay in place and please NOTE: there is a clear sheet on the back that must be removed in order for them to keep from sliding.

Pros
  • Ideal for Daycare Centers and Schools – Fun and Safety Combined
Cons
  • May not be as safe as advertised

Fun and Useful good for me

I used to use paper towels under my grandchildren’s dishes at mealtime, but these are fun, easy to clean, and they save the surface of my table. They are larger than I imagined which is good.

Pros
  • Great for Homeschooling – Enhances Learning Experience
Cons
  • May not offer a good value for the price

Stay in place best in my review

I love how these non-slip mats stay pretty well in place and have clear attractive pictures for learning. May not come in a variety of animal designs!

Pros
  • Have had these for about 3 months...wipe them down every day and no issues with durability.
Cons
  • May not come in a variety of animal designs

I gave this toy to my 2 year old grandson. The toy was a little advanced for him which is fine. The recommended age is 3-4. I was unhappy that the steering wheel broke off and the rear view mirror broke in a way that it couldn't be repaired in only 2 days.

Pros
  • Educational fun for kids: Designed by teachers, these waterproof placemats provide the kind of learning kids love. While they eat, your little ones will learn about animals in 4 different settings: at home, on the farm, in the wild, and in the sea
Cons
  • May not be fire-resistant

Very Impressed on my review.

I've only had the mats for about a week, but thus far, I'm very impressed by it and would recommend it to friends! That's my review!

Pros
  • Educational – Teaches Kids about Animals in a Fun Way
Cons
  • May not stay flat on uneven surfaces

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Multiple uses! on my review.

We actually poke a hole on top and post them to the wall at home. Great way to get my kiddo’s attention and learn! We’ve had a prior set of Merka for over a year now, and recently added to the collection as our oldest is ready to learn more!

Pros
  • BPA-free plastic: These mats are washable and 100% safe. They’re shipped with clear adhesive film on the back, to protect them during shipping. For best results, peel off and discard the clear adhesive film before use
Cons
  • May not be waterproof

Inaccurate. best in my review

Do not get these placemats if you are looking for accuracy. It is obvious that they were very lazy with their design. The ‘O’s are upside down ‘Q’s. The seven on the clock is a backwards F. I’m glad my daughter is already five and knows that sevens and ’O’s don’t look like this. When you make something that is intended to teach, it better be accurate, Merka. It’s a good idea to be sure your designers and manufacturers know the English alphabet and number scale before printing.

Pros
  • Easy to Pack – Perfect for Traveling and Vacations
Cons
  • May not be appropriate for certain occasions or events

These are good mats.

I like em. They are working like they should. Good quality mats too. Designer is true when they it has a non sliding back. It hold on to the table good. And the kids like them too for the designs on them. They look at them and want to show what they know and will start counting or ask questions about what's on them

Pros
  • Helps Kids Stay Seated for Longer – Keeps Kids Engaged with their Meal
Cons
  • May not be soft enough for young children

Awesome no-slip back!

These place mats are richly colored and my kids are already having a great time studying them. My favorite feature is the back of the mat, though. The nubby texture makes them stick to our wood table like champs! These don't slide around like the Melissa & Doug place mats I have, so there are fewer mishaps.

Pros
  • These are a great learning tool. They're also durable.
Cons
  • May not be dishwasher safe

Love them! Worth the cost.

My 2.5 yo son loves these placemats! They are durable and easy to wash. They cover a large area and have a good non-slip surface on the back to keep them stable. I recommend these placemats.

Pros
  • Keeps Meals Clean – Avoids Messy Spills and Stains on your Tablecloth
Cons
  • May not be resistant to tears or punctures

Love these placemats

These placemats are bright, colorful, and protect the table. They are a great meal time conversation starter with my toddler. We just love them!

Pros
  • Ideal for Picky Eaters – Holds their Attention and Keeps them Engaged
Cons
  • May not be non-slip on glass or shiny surfaces

Great quality - my new review

Mats are of great quality, the colors and material used are excellent. I purchased several different ones and they are exactly what I was looking for. The bottom of the mats have a more rubbery/gripping texture that works perfectly on my tables so they won’t slide around. I highly recommend getting these.

Pros
  • Place Mats
Cons
  • May smell after several uses

My toddler loves these!

My son loves cars/trucks/etc and these definitely brighten up our mealtimes. They are very high quality and I'm glad we ordered them. He likes to point out the different vehicles on them and has learned what they're called. He's only just turned two so I'm pretty impressed that he can identify a bulldozer or an excavator!

Pros
  • Durable – Doesn’t Tearing Easily
Cons
  • May not be customizable with kids' names or designs

Great product in my review

Super durable and easy to clean. Helps make meal time a little less painful when trying to get our kid to eat.we can talk about the pictures. He learns something and is distracted enough to forget to protest his next bite.

Pros
  • Lightweight – Ideal for Picnics and Outdoor Activities
Cons
  • May not be able to accommodate utensils and silverware

Good learning tool!

I like the content, design, and idea of these placemats. We have two different sets, and my daughter loves learning from them. However, the back peels very easily. In fact, two mats in both sets we have came peeling. I am just careful with them (wash by hand, don’t purposely peel them, etc.).

Pros
  • My grandson loved them. Very durable and easy to clean!
Cons
  • May not be suitable for older kids

I recommend this item

I purchased these placemats for when our grandkids visit. We purchased a new table and the grandkids love to do crafts on it. These mats are great and clean real easy. They love picking a new mat when they come visit.

Pros
  • My initial impressions is that these will be sturdy and easy to clean but I have only had them one week.
Cons
  • May not be eco-friendly if used too frequently
