How to try it
Roll up a fabric placemat and show your toddler where it goes. Let them carry it with both hands to their seat, then help unroll it flat. Do the same for each place at the table.
Materials
- Fabric placemat
Safety note
Clear the path first so the placemat is not underfoot, and walk beside your toddler.
Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.
Why it matters
