The FIFA World Cup is almost here, and whether your little ones are obsessed with football or just love the buzz of a global tournament, there's no better time to get them excited about the beautiful game and the beautiful world it's played in. The best part? You don't need a screen in sight.
Here at eatsleepdoodle, we believe the World Cup is more than just 90 minutes of football, it's a chance for kids to discover new countries, learn about different cultures, and get genuinely curious about the world. And we've got three brilliant screen-free products to help them do exactly that.
World Flags Tablecloth
The World Cup brings together nations from every corner of the globe, so what better way to get kids fired up than by colouring in the flags of every single one? Our World Flags Tablecloth features the flags of every United Nations member state - from Brazil and France to Senegal and South Korea, with 10 wash-out fabric pens included so the whole family can join in.
Kids can hunt down the flags of their favourite World Cup teams, quiz each other on which flag belongs to which country, and colour their way around the globe while the match-day excitement builds. Made from 100% cotton and completely washable at 30°, the ink disappears entirely after a machine wash, so you can do it all over again for the next round! It even has loops to double up as a fantastic wall hanging once the colouring is done.
A proper conversation-starter for match nights, this one has parents and grandparents reaching for the pens too.
Colour & Learn World Map Tablecloth
For kids who want to know where all those World Cup teams are actually coming from, our award-winning World Map Tablecloth is the perfect companion. Measuring a generous 130x85cm and packed with countries, iconic landmarks, wild animals and exotic sea creatures, it turns any table into a giant canvas of discovery.
As the World Cup group stages unfold, kids can find each competing nation on the map, colour it in, and start building a picture of just how global this tournament really is. It's an amazing way to sneak in some geography learning while everyone's caught up in the excitement. And because the pens wash out completely at 30°, there's always a fresh world waiting to be explored.
Winner of the 2020 Kids Product of the Year and Creative Play of the Year Awards, this tablecloth has delighted families, classrooms and home schoolers alike. One parent put it perfectly: "All really enjoyed getting creative with the world map tablecloth over the week — adults and under 10s!"
Love the world map design? It's also available as a placemat for smaller tables and on-the-go use, a pencil case to keep all those colouring pens organised, and a backpack - ideal for carrying World Cup snacks to a friend's house!
US Map Placemat to Go
With the USA co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico, there's never been a better moment to get kids excited about America! Our US Map Placemat to Go is a coast-to-coast colouring adventure, featuring all 50 states to colour in, plus each state's capital city, native bird, animal and flower to discover.
Flip it over and there are iconic US landmarks to explore too - the Statue of Liberty, the White House, Mount Rushmore and more. Plus space to write your own American adventure notes. It comes with 10 wash-out fabric pens and arrives in its own stars-and-stripes mini tote bag, making it perfect for colouring on the go: restaurants, long journeys, or those nail-biting half-time waits!
As with all eatsleepdoodle products, a simple machine wash at 30° and it's completely blank again, ready for another lap of the USA.
Can't get enough of the USA theme? The US map design is also available as a tablecloth for even bigger colouring adventures at the dinner table, and as a pillowcase so kids can dream of American road trips long after the World Cup is over!
Why Screen-Free Matters During the World Cup
With so much football on TV, it can feel like screens are everywhere during the tournament. These colouring products give kids something creative and hands-on to do alongside the matches. Keeping little hands busy, sparking curiosity about the world, and making those pre-match and half-time moments genuinely fun. They're also a brilliant way for the whole family to connect around the table, without anyone staring at a phone.
