Making sure the kids have good manners is something that has always been important to us as parents. Part of that process is learning how to eat politely in a restaurant. The corner diner has been a great place to practice our table manners in a low pressure setting. For that age when dropping things (read: dishes) is the favorite pastime Classy Kid Germ Defense Placemats have been a great plate substitute. They come in a ziploc pack of 10 or 20 complete with crayons. They have adhesive around all four edges that is strong enough to keep all but a wily toddler from ripping it off the table, but easy enough for an adult to remove without taking the finish off the wood. The different themes give kids something to talk about and something to color (the included triangular crayons are small but sturdy).
They're a little pricy at about $0.50 each, but you'll enjoy dinner out a lot more knowing that your toddler isn't eating off a germ infested table or throwing the china on the floor. It also feels nice and green to know that the placemat will happily biodegrade with your toddlers leftovers.
