Usually, the tablecloths are recommended for children ages 2 to 8. We now have designs for adults and seniors.
The tablecloths can be used for toddlers from 3-4 months as a play mat by placing a thicker mat underneath, as the tablecloths are very thin.
Here is a list of recommended ages per tablecloth, but of course it depends on the interests and abilities of each individual:
- 0 to 4 years : Farm, Animals, Vegetables, Numbers with dinosaurs, Cats and dogs
- Ages 4 and up : Alphabet, Transport, Fantasy, Emotions, World Map, Yoga, Planets
- Adults and seniors : Mandala, Landscape, Dream
- All ages : Birthday, Christmas, Dream
-
The tablecloths with colored elements are aimed at younger children who also need to learn colors. Our tablecloths are meant to be both fun and educational tools, which is why we suggest games such as Finders Keepers:
- Find all the animals that have blue?
- I am a black and white striped animal
- Point out all the green vegetables -
Of course!
We have developed a User's Guide that you can download free of charge. In it you will find activities to stimulate the 4 spheres of your children's development. -
COLOR - WASH - REUSE
Yes !! You can color and write on BiMoo tablecloths and placemats with washable markers.
The drawings made on the tablecloth will wash off. No need for special detergents, just your regular laundry soap.
To avoid ink transfer to furniture or other objects, we recommend placing a plastic tablecloth under the fabric tablecloth before coloring.
The tablecloth being made of fabric and not paper, it is possible that the ink will diffuse and slightly overflow the illustrations.
-
Yes, and that's why it's important to put a plastic or other tablecloth under the coloring tablecloth or placemat, because even though the markers are washable, there may be surfaces that are less washable than others.
We wouldn't want the coloring to stain your furniture.

Yes ! Our tablecloths and placemats are OEKO-TEX certified. This certification assures you that each component (fabric, print and yarn) has been tested and is free of harmful substances.
The test criteria are standardized worldwide to the highest standards. They are updated at least once a year according to new scientific findings or legal requirements regarding regulated substances.
In short, the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification is a guarantee of safety for small and large users of BiMoo tablecloths.
The absence of solvents in the curing of the UV ink results in the complete elimination of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions into the atmosphere and environmentally responsible recycling and reuse.
-
In all transparency, our tablecloths and placemats are made in China for the following reasons:
- There is no woven fabric certified OEKO-TEX in Quebec, there is only recycled knit fabric
- The surface area of fabric needed to manufacture tablecloths is very large and sublimation printing on large surfaces is very expensive in Quebec
- The lack of workforce in Quebec means that sewing must be done abroad, we are no longer a manufacturing country- Fabrics sold in Quebec are already mostly imported from Asia: China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India...
- The selling price of a product made in Quebec would be too high for the consumer and not profitable for us.
Thank you for your understanding -
Follow the instructions on the label:

No, because PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl) treatments replace PFOA, but are just as toxic. In addition, these treatments release VOCs into the air that we and our children will breathe, which is not in our values.
Epidemiological studies have also shown that PFASs are linked to kidney and testicular cancers, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, low birth weight, obesity, reduced immune response to vaccines, as well as reduced hormone levels and delayed puberty.
