For Parents or Teachers

 

Make Your Own Educational Placemat

Children can learn twice with this project: when they create it and when they eat on it!

 

 

Materials: construction paper or tagboard, pencil, markers, scissors, contact paper.

Decide what skill you wish to practice: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, equations, shapes, colors, numbers, sight words, phonics, days of the week, months of the year, measurement…anything that needs to be memorized.

Have the children write and draw on the paper the facts and pictures they will be studying. When it looks the way they want it, they can trace their pencil lines with markers and fill in their pictures.

 

Cover both sides with clear contact paper. Leave enough contact paper around the edges so that the clear edges meet and form a seal to allow you to wipe off the placemat after it has been used for a meal.
