Total Time Needed: 1 Hour
While you're waiting for the meal to cook, guests can decorate their own keepsake place mats using fabric markers.
Materials
- Fabric place mats
- Fabric markers
Instructions
- Set an inexpensive white or light-colored fabric place mat at each child's place and let the kids draw whatever they'd like - a sunny scene, a house, animals, or a steaming plate of lasagna.
- To preserve their masterpieces, iron the place mats to set the colors according to package directions. While the markers are out, invite each guest to sign his or her name on a child-size apron for the host.
Tips:
Write each child's name on a place mat and decorate the border using a variety of stencil themes, such as food, animals, stars, or the alphabet.
