Okay, the title really gives away the whole idea. Rather than using a flimsy, disposable, wipe-clean splat mat under our high chair, we opted to vertically cut an old waterproof shower curtain in half. The result is durable and cheap splat mat.The best feature of a shower curtain splat mat (other than fact it lays pretty flat on the floor and doesn't bunch up) is machine wash-ability. Add a half cup baking soda to the wash load and a couple towels or sweatshirts (for friction), and air dry. Do not use bleach or detergents with bleach.

What a great idea. I think I use one to protect the floor under the easel.

ReplyDeleteJennie-
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I've avoided easels, but your idea makes them seem a lot more manageable.
This would also work for an entryway, when bringing muddy children, pets and humans inside.
ReplyDeleteKara- you're right!
ReplyDeleteAlso- as carpet & furniture guards when there's high chance of barf.
Old shower curtains also make great drop clothes for painting and other projects.
