The other day, I ran into these placemats at the Home Improvement store. First off, why in the world would they sell placements there? They don't sell plates, napkins or food but rather paint, lumber and placements. LOL! Second, does education come before family bonding? Who spends their time at the dinner table memorizing the names of US Presidents? Or the types of Dinosaurs? How about World Geography? Any takers for the Solar System?
My personal favorite has to be the placemat on colors. Look at the item representing each color. How does the placemat creator select the items? My favorite is the brown briefcase. What is yours?
I like that the colors are in Spanish and English. Learning a new language during dinner is the perfect outlet do this. Practicing new words with your mouth full would be great while trying to teach manners.
i love purple, so the purple would be my favorite - but what's with the purple stapler??!! LOL! the "designer" of this placemat couldn't find anything else purple?

That's a riot...and I love the purple stapler, too!
We used to have some of these placemats, but we used them for lunch and snacktime, not dinner. :)
presidents for sure. The kids and I could then quiz each other
I never knew that the Spanish word for yellow was amirillo...
Thanks for teaching me something new.
