Families with toddlers roughly 1–5 who are into water play, play kitchens, helping in the real kitchen, art, playdough, or any activity that's wonderful and wet.
Especially good for hard floors, rental homes, and anyone gifting a toddler kitchen who wants the gift to be complete.
80cm (L) x 50cm (W), 1.7 cm thick
Packaging 51 cm x 14.5 cm x 14 cm, 1 kg
Microfibre
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent for everyday spills. For bigger messes, rinse and air-dry flat.
Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, and direct heat. Let the mat dry fully before rolling or storing.
The anti-slip backing helps the mat stay in place on hard, flat floors, and the defined space helps toddlers play more predictably — but no mat replaces supervision.
Always supervise water play and kitchen activities, and wipe up large pools of water promptly, as any wet surface can become slippery.

Made for the Little Hands Kitchen
The Little Kitchen by Little Hands is a premium Montessori-inspired toddler kitchen with a real working tap and stainless steel sink.
Designed for children aged 3+, it lets toddlers wash their hands, rinse fruit, fill cups, and help with meal preparation using real running water — with no plumbing or electrician required, thanks to a self-contained refillable water system.
A defined space to do big things.
In Montessori-inspired practical life activities — pouring, washing, scrubbing, transferring — the workspace matters as much as the tools.
A defined mat helps a toddler understand where their activity begins and ends, supports focus, and makes clean-up part of the routine ("let's wipe our mat") rather than a parent's private chore.
It's a small thing that makes independence feel doable, daily.
What is the Little Kitchen Mat?
The Little Kitchen Mat by Little Hands is a washable, anti-slip play mat for toddlers aged approximately 1–5, designed to sit under a toddler kitchen or play kitchen.
It protects floors from everyday spills and splashes during water play and practical life activities, defines a clear activity space that helps toddlers focus, and cushions little feet during longer play.
The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the anti-slip backing helps the mat stay in place on hard floors such as timber, tiles, and hybrid. It is made to pair with the Little Hands Kitchen, a Montessori-inspired toddler kitchen, and is available in two designs: The Good Egg (soft egg print) and Checkmate (classic check).
Little Hands is an Australian premium Montessori-inspired toddler brand, and the mat ships Australia-wide. Price: $49 AUD.
Frequently Asked Questions
What mat should I use under a toddler kitchen?
A washable, anti-slip mat sized to sit under the kitchen and catch the splash zone in front of it. The Little Kitchen Mat is designed exactly for this — it's made to pair with the Little Hands Kitchen, protects floors from everyday spills, and wipes clean in seconds.
Do I really need a mat under a toddler kitchen?
If your toddler will use real water (and that's where the magic is), a mat saves your floors and your patience. It catches drips and splashes, gives your child a defined space to work in, and turns clean-up into a quick wipe instead of a mop-out. On timber, hybrid, or tiled floors, most parents consider it essential.
Is it good for water play?
Yes — the top surface is water-resistant and wipeable, so everyday splashes sit on the surface until you wipe them. For heavy water play, we still recommend wiping up larger pools as you go, since any wet surface can become slippery.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent for daily spills. For bigger messes, rinse and air-dry flat before rolling or storing. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, and direct heat.
Will it slip on floorboards or tiles?
The mat has an anti-slip backing designed to grip hard, flat floors like timber, tiles, and hybrid. Keep the underside of the mat and the floor clean and dry for best grip, and always supervise active play.
Is it cushioned?
Yes — the surface is soft enough to be comfortable for little feet and kneeling grown-ups, but firm enough for steady standing at the kitchen bench. It makes longer stretches of play noticeably more comfortable.
What ages is it for?
It's designed for toddlers roughly 1–5 — the same window as the Little Hands Kitchen and practical life activities like pouring, washing, and food prep.
What's the difference between The Good Egg and Checkmate?
The Good Egg is a soft, playful egg print — warm and gentle for natural, softer interiors. Checkmate is a classic check that reads more like a considered home piece. Same mat, same size, same backing — just choose the design that suits your home.
Is this a Montessori mat?
It's Montessori-inspired. In Montessori practical life activities, a defined workspace helps children focus and understand where an activity begins and ends. The Little Kitchen Mat brings that idea home: a clear, consistent space where your toddler works, plays, and helps clean up.
Does it fit under the Little Hands Kitchen?
Yes — it's sized to sit under the kitchen with coverage for the splash-and-spill zone in front, where most of the action happens. (Full dimensions are in Details & Dimensions above.)
Is it a good gift for a 2-year-old or 3-year-old?
Very. On its own, it's a practical, beautiful gift under $50. Paired with the Little Hands Kitchen, it completes the gift — the child gets their whole little space set up on day one, and the parents get protected floors.
