One of these mats has been enough, we always hand wash it. Toddler can easily throw it on the floor but I find it stays on the table longer than just plates. And as long as there is something to eat, the toddler doesn't throw it.

I don’t want food touching plastic or silicone more than needed, so this ceramic set work so well for toddlers learning to eat. (High sides for easy scooping and just loving the lid for storing leftovers!)
