The New BPA-Free Kiddy Platter Means Less Mess, Quick Clean-up and a Perfect Holiday Activity Space

Portland, Ore., December 10, 2012 – Having toddlers and young children at the "big" table during holiday celebrations can be nerve-wracking, but not so with the Kiddy Platter placemat and craftmat. Stains on table linens from cranberry sauce or ground-in gravy, and holiday food all over the floor are a thing of the past. The new BPA-free, dishwasher safe Kiddy Platter is also perfect for containing the mess and protecting the table while making holiday crafts and decorating festive cookies.

The Kiddy Platter is a clear, tray-like placemat that can be personalized with educational placards, art or any items of interest underneath it to keep a child's attention
at the table. Items such as educational worksheets, cards from the grandparents, or
favorite photos can be placed underneath to amuse a child on any given day. Or, during
special occasions, the hostess can simply keep the table clear of cartoon-character
clutter while enjoying the protection and simple style of the Kiddy Platter.

Ideal for kids ages one and up, the Kiddy Platter grows with a child. It is handy and
useful not only at the table, but on the floor, or as a hard surface "on the go" in a car or
elsewhere.
