| Chopping/craft/all purpose mat |
As a crafty family each member has a set. Also, we have a set in the kitchen.
These mats are cheap enough to risk crafting on. Made from some durable plastic, they have the feel of milk jugs. If they're not recycled from them, they should really consider it.
The girls use theirs for play dough, galaxy goo, magic sand. They come in handy as a surface protector anytime something messy comes up, which is a lot around here. Our motto: If it aint messy you aint learnin'. That's not really our motto. At fifty cents each they are even the cheapest place mat I can find. They wash off easy, and if they get super stained up we shuffle it to a messier craft. We haven't had to throw them out yet.
The hubster uses them with his polymer clay, as well as painting projects. The clay peels off neatly with a straight edge, and much paint washes off with the kitchen scrubbie.
I am the worst on them. With alcohol inks, cutting, taping, gluing, painting, mine are definitely the most worn looking. My motto is: if it aint messy it aint fun. Again, not really my motto. When using my tape runner for shapes I love to habve one of these underneath bnecause the adhesive simply rubs off with my thumb.
As I said, you can also use them in the kitchen. They are a great surface to cut on or to work on, since they move right to the sink for a wash. I imagine this christmas I will be rolling my sugar cookies on them!
