Get your Good Manners Placemats right here

I happened upon this nifty placemats for kids awhile ago and I am so thrilled to have them as a sponsor here at Just Not Martha this month. My kids are always forgetting their table manners at home during the week. Things are hurried and casual and we don’t always all get to eat at the same time. So they need gentle reminders for the simple things. please and thank yous and making sure they wash up first no matter what time it is or whether or not we are all at the table.

Fortunately when we go out to eat they rarely slip up on any of their manners. I almost always get compliments on their behavior when we go out to a restaurant. Every now and then I’ll have to remind someone not to talk with their mouth full of food though.

Kids Good Manners Placemats sells for $9.95 for a set of 4 colorful vinyl placemats featuring Sammy, Danny, Teddy and Katie teaching your kids simple table manners. You’ll find yourself no longer repeating these simple manners over and over again and your kids won’t feel “nagged” by mom and dad. It’s a win win dinner time situation.
