You can also cut them out into squiggles and make a jigsaw

Nice as a gift to grandparents too

I used to make heaps of these with the kids to preserve their beautiful drawings and paintings.

Something Grandma could do with her grandchildren during the school holidays or sleepovers and give to their Mums for Mothers Day, Birthday or Christmas.

I’ve got myself a set of these, courtesy of my grandson and my lovely daughter in law. I use them daily and even have a few spare, ready to use when my current ones wear out

Get them to draw some Xmas scenes and then voila! Xmas decor

Aww these are so cute. My little one will love it

This will be so much fun to do the kiddo. Love it totally.

Place mats are so useful for spills and messy eating. Great idea and very creative.

I used to do this with my kids artwork. Sometimes I gave them as gifts to grandparents as well as aunts and uncles

So many fun options for dinner

Love this! I need to get a laminator. My toddler will be so happy.

You could also laminate times tables or the alphabet for educational ones.

That is a quick and easy way to make place mats

  Colouring in your name and laminating it would be an awesome place mat, you wouldn’t get mixed up with who’s is who’s.

    What a great way to get children to practice writing their name!

These would make lovely presents for special people (Grandparents, teachers etc.) for Christmas.

Simple and fun to make. Kids will love to have their own special placemat. Thank you.

What a brilliant idea.

I’ve made DIY placemats that we bring out Christmas Day. They always get a laugh. Each has the family member’s name and a funny/old photo. They’re about 10 years old now, so everyone’s screaming for an update. Personally, I love them!!

made some for the grand mothers for mothers day-they loved them (although they were hung up!)

Love it! What a wonderful idea.
