In the Kitchen (with plastic knives)

• Learn how to properly set the table
  1. Color this simple plate setting from Parents.com
  2. Laminate and use as a guide as well as a place mat!
• Make a 3-D place setting
  1. Give the kids a large piece of construction paper.
  2. Glue a paper plate, paper cup, napkin and plastic utensils onto the paper in a proper place setting.
  3. Hang on the wall to use as a guide to set the table.
• Let the kids help put away the silverware ... the matching is great practice!
• Let the kids use a plastic or butter knife to cut food ... bananas & marshmallows are soft. Or let them try spreading peanut butter on bread or crackers

Snack Idea: banana slices & peanut butter on crackers (let the kids help using a plastic knife)
