are you hosting an Easter breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner this weekend? if so, do you have plans for a kids table? if you answered yes to both of those questions, here are my ideas for you:
we plan on having a simple {cereal, eggs, and bacon} Easter breakfast, tending to our traditional festivities, and then we are dining out for Easter dinner. because our mornings can be crazy when six of us are all getting ready in our sunday best, i want to make breakfast special, and memorable for the holiday, but easy. a good combination, right?
for some time now i’ve wanted to create a custom placemat that could be used all year long. so, i chose the classic dots game and a leaf design that i can’t get enough of lately! both of these designs could be adapted to any holiday, birthday, or everyday meal use!
i printed the placemats on white and brown kraft paper card stock to get two different looks. i adore both of them, and can’t decide which i like best! the white placemats underneath the floral splashes of color is beautiful, and i love the brown underneath white dishes, clean and simple. which do you like best???
you can find both of the placemats in my shop, HERE.
i recommend printing the placemats on card stock. if you do print & use the placemats, i would love to see a picture of your event or pretty tables! regardless of if you celebrate Easter, i hope you are planning a weekend filled with your passions and those you love. i don’t practice my faith exactly like my parents practiced theirs and i greatly respect and learn from friends who practice different faiths than mine, and yet we all make opportunities this time of year to create meaningful celebrations with our families and our children. make every day uniquely yours. i encourage you to soak up all that spring has to offer, it is not an ordinary season – it is an exceptional one. happy hosting, friends! xo.

Love the placemats!! Such a great idea! Where did you get the other color pencils that are fluorescent?
thanks for these super cute placemats. Will for sure be using them this weekend. Love all your great ideas!!
How cute! Thanks for sharing. I want to print the dots one and laminate it so we can play over and over again with dry-erase markers!
Jane, i left several comments, but its not showing them…
ohh thank you for these! My son would love the dots placemat. He’ll likely make a puzzle out of it. Happy Easter!
These look great, so does the rest of your site- am delighted to have found you!
What a sweet table setting, those bunnies are too cute! Thanks for sharing the placemat download. I have recently come across your blog and really enjoy what you write/post. I also live in the Boston, I just love coming across great blogs by local gals.

Wow nice table setting. I impressed when I saw. Their flower Vass and rabbit face so cute.
I printed and used these for our Easter celebration. The kids loved them!! Such a great (and really cute) idea. Thanks so much.
I just found your blog through pinterest and love it!
Cutest table ideas!
thanks for these! i’m going to print them on good quality white paper and put them at the place-settings of the little ones at my wedding reception, along with bundles of colored pencils tied with twine.
