This animal-themed and glare-free desk mat from HERMA significantly helps protect your child's desk from scratches and other damage. Moving keyboards, dropped items, or carelessly placed cups can leave unsightly marks on the surface over time without a desk mat. Most importantly, however, the desk mat makes working much more comfortable. Thanks to its soft-touch surface, it's easy for your child to do homework on the mat. Writing, drawing, crafting, and coloring become much easier than on a hard surface. The hands rest on a pleasantly soft base, and the writing-elastic surface ensures that writing instruments like pens or fountain pens receive the perfect amount of resistance while writing. This not only has a very positive effect on your child's handwriting but also prevents issues like ballpoint pens refusing to work due to a too-hard surface. With dimensions of 550 x 350 mm, the mat is perfectly sized and, thanks to the wild animal motifs, is a real eye-catcher on the desk. The material is made of high-quality coated cardboard, is non-slip, and is therefore ideal for handling school assignments.
