Nancy,
The placemats are great. They are educational and help preserve my wood table from 'toddler damage'. The package arrived very quickly.
Thanks.
-Elisa, Naperville, IL

Nancy,
Thank you very much for outstanding customer service! You were so nice to alert me to the extra placemat I "earned" for an order of 6, and to send the complete order all together! They arrived yesterday by US mail and I am very pleased with them. I don't think I have ever had such caring and quick service on a mail order!
Thanks again.
Jeanette M., Ithaca, NY

Nancy,
The placemats are great; very good quality, bright, and cheerful. I gave them to my grandchildren last night and my 5 year old granddaughter spent the entire meal telling time and asking us all what we do at different times of the day. My 18 month old grandson loved the numbers on his and pointed at each one until someone called out the number. I know they will have many happy meals with them.
They arrived promptly. I plan to order more soon for my other set of grandchildren.
Thank you, Mary B., Pleasantville, NY

Hi, Nancy. The placemats are perfect and exactly what I was looking for. They have such fun designs and are super easy to clean. Plus, they're so durable. I bought them for my cats, not my kids, and they are so much superior to anything else I've used for them. Shipping was fast, the price was great, and I'm really very happy with my purchase. Thank you again,
Cheryl B., Bronx NY

Hi Nancy! I loved the placemats. I bought them for my 3 year old son because I want to utilize every opportunity to work with him on learning new things. Since 3 year olds LOVE to play at the table rather than eat their food, I searched for placemats. I chose yours based upon the reviews from other parents and I'm so glad I did! They're high quality and clean easily AND they're far above and beyond other placemats that I've bought in similar categories. I'm sure I'll be a repeat shopper when my daughter gets to the placemats age.

The placemats also arrived SUPER quickly. Another plus! I'm overall completely pleased!
Susan D., Springboro, OH

Hi Nancy,
My grandson loves his new placemat and can't wait to use it at school. As soon as we got it, we sat down and he wanted to know the names of all the sea animals. I was extremely pleased with packaging and how quickly the order was received. I will keep your web site for future reference as I have six beautiful grandchildren.
Thank you!
Rosetta W., Gilbert PA

I loved the placemats, much higher quality than can be purchased in the store. My Daughter loves them all and it helps keep her focused on the food.
Thanks for the great product.
Melissa B., Loganville, GA

Nancy,
Thanks for the quick delivery!! It was amazing ordering and getting them the same day; talk about customer service. The placemats are adorable. I got two as gifts and the girls were delighted to break theirs in tonight for dinner! Thanks again!
Julie H., Clarendon Hills, IL

Dear Nancy,
Thank you for your email. Sam, our 2 year old, loves his placemats! We had the fire engine one and it got lost and I could not find another one here in New York City, much to my surprise. So I was delighted to find your site on the Web. The order arrived almost immediately, and was a big hit, especially the Bulldozer. Thank you so much. Now if I can just find matching fire truck t-shirts for Sam and myself I'll be a very happy father.
All the very best,
David Levinthal, New York, NY

Hi Nancy -
We LOVE the placemats! The quality of the vinyl is terrific and the images are perfect for illustrating the universe/world/state concepts that our son is interested in.

They arrived in the mail just 2 days after I ordered them. Great product!
Thanks very much!
Sally C., Missouri City, TX

Not only did the placemats arrive in seemingly mere minutes, the personal, hand-written notes (to both Ruby, the recipient of the placemats, & to me, the purchaser) was a delightfully unexpected, out-of-the-box inclusion! I'll be back on your web site for future purchases (as will my daughter & her friends)! Thank you, Nancy.
