Designed for study and everyday use, the mat lays flat on the desk to provide a smooth area for writing, drawing and computer mouse movement.

A full-colour world map illustrated with animals adds visual interest and learning value without requiring extra accessories. The mat delivers a stable, uniform work area that helps keep stationery in place and protects surfaces from scratches, ink and food stains. Its size creates an extended workspace suitable for books, notebooks and a keyboard.

How to use

Place the laminated desk mat on a clean, flat desk or table surface, aligning it with the front edge if preferred.
