The 10 Best Educational Placemats For Kids

Editor's Notes

June 12, 2020:

As a parent, you already understand the importance of a good education for your children's future. You also know that you can aid schools in the education process by working with your kids at home, such as with kindergarten math games for kids just beginning school. You can take the home learning experience even further for older children with brain models for your future scientist or doctor.

What you may overlook is the ease of adding education to their lives without them even realizing that they are learning. Instead of traditional placemats at mealtime, try an educational one. Your children will soak up the new information as they enjoy a snack, and it also gives you a chance to interact with them even more by asking and answering questions. As we made our selections, we included budget-friendly options because education is important for all children, and we chose a wide range of subjects, so you can find the best ones for your children's ages and interests.

The Merka Explorer Set comes with 4 mats focused on maps, the solar system, and the human body. Merka mats are all non-slip and BPA-free, and they are available in other subject sets, which is why we included the Merka Math Set for your little mathematicians, and the Merka Year Set that teaches about the seasons, the calendar year, telling time, and money.

The Brainy Mats Explorer comes with 6 mats on topics like the periodic table of elements and United States presidents, and it is double-sided, like the Tot Talk Activities, so your children get information from both sides. However, this means that it is not non-slip, which may be a factor in your decision.
