Product Description

Give older kids a creative challenge that doesn't end in mess or screen time.
This double-sided silicone colouring mat is designed for kids who've outgrown basic colouring books and want something more detailed to sink into — featuring intricate illustrations of Australian gum leaves, wattle blooms, bees and butterflies, illustrated in collaboration with Australian artist Nancy Cover.

With four bonus activities on the reverse side, there's enough here to hold their attention well beyond a single sitting. And because it's silicone, not paper, every session ends with a quick wipe-clean instead of a pile of finished pages to deal with.

Why parents love it

Detailed designs that genuinely challenge and engage older kids (and adults love it too)
Wipes clean with water — no mess, no waste, reusable forever
Introduces native Australian plants and wildlife in a hands-on way
Illustrated by Australian artist Nancy Cover — genuinely unique designs, not generic clip art
Four bonus activities mean longer engagement per mat

1 Double-Sided Colouring Mat (37cm x 25.5cm)
10 non-toxic coloured markers
Gift-ready packaging
