Benefits of Including These Thanksgiving Placemats

Engagement:

Little kids (and sometimes older ones as well) can get quite restless when waiting for meals at the table. Having these handy dandy placemats will keep them entertained as they enjoy solving puzzles, drawing, coloring and so much more while waiting for their meal.

Foster A Gratitude Practice

One of the activity placemats includes a section where kids share something they are grateful for. This gives kids an opportunity to express their appreciation for the things they have in life. It’s also a beautiful prompt that can spark conversations around the importance of gratitude and Thanksgiving traditions

Mess-Free Creativity:

I know many families simply throw on a big piece of paper as their tablecloth to give kids an opportunity to color and draw. Now, if that’s something you love doing – do you and continue with your tradition. However, if you feel like switching things up and want to decorate your table a bit more fancy you can now do so because these placemats will give kids a designated space to express their creativity.
