Make A Mat – A Customized, Educational Placemat That Will Make Someone Smile

Do you ever go shopping for a gift for a child and get lost among the toy aisles?  Or, do you scroll through page after page of Internet stores, trying to find the perfect, unique gift? I know from experience, gift shopping for kids is very overwhelming, tiring, and difficult, especially with so many toys to choose from.  Well, I received a perfect idea for a gift that I’d like to introduce you to. It’s a great product idea to keep in mind next time you need something special for a child in your life. It’s called Make A Mat—a unique and fun placemat for a child.  It is a placemat that is personalized by you with their name and a theme that you think they’ll enjoy.

Creating Your Make A Mat

How does it work?  You go to https://makeamat.com/ and click on “Shop.” You then enter in the child’s name, pick a letter style, and click the letters in the child’s name to customize the color. In less than a couple of minutes, you have created a fun, adorable, personalized mat for your child (or someone else).  The letter styles come in a variety of themes: angels, children, dinos, dragons, fairies, mermaids, monsters, robots, super dudes, teddy bears, and wizards.  In addition to the child’s name (which is in the center of the mat), there is also an alphabet (which is also artistically designed) along the edges of the mat. So the mat is a functional placemat and a fun, educational tool.

Placemat Specs And Other Details

The mat measures 17.5 inches wide by 11.5 inches tall and is of great quality.  When handling this mat, you can tell it’s built to be durable. It’s handmade in Ithaca, New York. The artwork is hand-drawn and very detailed. It is covered with ultra-thick lamination (according to the website, it is 10 mils) with the corners rounded for safety. It’s also very easy to clean. You simply wipe clean with soap and water.

Make A Mat is a 2018 National Parenting Product Awards Winner. And, I can see why.  It’s a quality product that is educational in a creative way. It’s also fun and will make a child feel special.

So, if you need a great gift idea or want to buy your children something that’s educational and functional and something that will get used daily, Make A Mat is definitely something to consider. The mats are recommended for children 1 to 8 years old.  Visit their website and design a mat yourself and you’ll see why it’s such a great product. I sent my mats as a gift to two children, and they absolutely love them!
