The Fun Placemats Story

 

A few years ago, before we had our own kids, my wife and I went on a trip to visit our nieces out in Colorado. I couldn't help but notice that when it came time for my wife's sister to prepare something for the girls to eat, it seemed like a never-ending battle to get them to the table. She was constantly having to entertain the girls while she finished cooking and got their food on plates. Even with food on the table, it was equally challenging to keep them at the table long enough to actually eat something. After all, kids are kids and the just want to play.

 

One night we went out to eat at one of these "fast casual" places. Like many restaurants do when they see you have kids with you, the hostess gave the girls placemats with games on them and a small box of crayons. The girls were more than happy to color away while we waited for our food, and the placemats kept them entertained throughout the entire meal. What a change from previous nights.

 

I thought to myself that when we got back home, I would look to see if I could find some disposable placemats like those to send out to the girls (and my sister-in-law) that they could use at home. No such luck! After scouring the internet I couldn't find anything for use at home, and so the idea for Fun Placemats was born.

 

 

 

The Fun Placemats Company makes quality placemats for your children that are not only fun, but they're specifically designed so kids will learn something as well.

 

Studies show that children absorb more information when they're entertained. That's why shows like Sesame Street are so successful, but who wants to let their kids watch television while they eat? Our placemats are the perfect balance between fun and education. You're children won't even realize their actually learning something.

 

As parents of two boys, we know how hard it is to keep children sitting at a table. Our goal is to make your life as a parent just a little bit easier while bringing some entertainment and education to your children's mealtime.
