Eating dinner might be a wholly earthy affair but parents can eco charge it to outer space with these funky Space Travel Placemats from 9SpotMonk.
Guaranteed to bring a smile to mischievous faces, the recycled letterpress printed mats come with non toxic crayons so you can niftily whip ‘em out at restaurants before the kids tear the place up.
Girls may prefer their equally cool Dress Me Up version (above) and you don’t need to save them for outings; they’ll work just as well at home to add some unexpected fun to mealtimes.
Placemats aren’t all that 9SpotMonk offer.
This sustainable design firm (they purchase wind power to offset fuel usage and use only 100% post consumer recycled paper or recovered cotton fibre papers) also has neat eco friendly kids notebooks. Generously filled with 48 letterpress printed pages, the books are bound by 100% recycled chipboard covers secured with copper staples and come either blank or lined.
The books are a fabulously hip n green place for kids to jot their thoughts and discoveries and an ideal way to introduce the idea of paper recycling.

$8 - 12US

Wanted to throw another option out there for Eco-Friendly Placemats. I got some placemats that are PVC Free at Target (made by Samandbellie.com). They are of course re usable and allow for your kids to write all over them with a children safe erasable pen…I got my kids to start using them by playing tic tac toe on them. Remember these are pvc free
