“Set the Table” Placemats

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy here.
This was a fun little project that I did with the older three kids. To help with learning how to properly set a table, we made "set the table" placemats. album 1.26.10 153 We used construction paper, clear contact paper and the printable placemat template found on the Nestle Family website. We printed off the template, traced it onto construction paper, and cut it out. Then, we glued the pieces onto a large piece of construction paper (with the proper positioning…of course) and labeled all the parts. Finally, I covered them with clear contact paper. In this pic, we practiced setting the table with some of our tea party supplies. We sometimes use the mats at the kitchen table with “real” utensils as well.

  2. Hi Angela!

    I just adjusted the post. The link does go to the Nestle Family website. That is where I found the download. Please let me know if you continue to have trouble with the link. I was able to access it just fine.
