Setting a Table

With little ones always wanting to help I wanted a way to make it easy for them to set the table without me having to stand there and tell them where to put everything. I came up with this idea for a placemat that has everything in its proper place (for infomal everyday family dining).  I figure that by using this as a guide they will 'automatically' learn the proper way to set a table without every having to have a sit down lesson on 'how to set a table'.   Since I have never actually  taught any of the kids how to do it, they will be able to benefit from it as well. 

I used a standard sized posterboard and folded it in half lengthwise then cut it so I had two of the same size pieces. I trimmed it just a bit so it wouldn't be so wide but instead the size of a standard placemat.  I then got all the pieces we usually use and traced around everything. Sorry about the picture looking blurry and light. I'm contemplating going over the lines again in marker so that the lines are darker.  I'm also going to laminate them so they can be easily cleaned. My goal is to make one for every place setting.  This is how it will look when everything has been placed.
