1) Set the stage for play. Bring in anchoring pieces that spark your kids’ imaginations but are easy to maintain, like a washable rug, a play tent and a pouf (great for guests like mom and dad!).
Our Multi Scattered Checks Rug is bright and colorful, yet still has a goes-with-anything vibe.
2) Make it their own. Play tables and chairs that are sized just for them give them free reign to be themselves and get comfortable.

3) Manners are fun! Start with Manners & Co. placemats for an interactive way to learn how to set the table.
These Table Mats make learning manners fun, just in time for the holidays!
4) It's a party. Seat their favorite stuffed animals nearby for additional company, add some fun wall accents like cute animal decor or garlands to make it feel extra special (pro tip: for florals, use a plastic vase and remove the water).
Don’t forget the finishing touches and wall accents, like our Curious Llama Head Wall Decor.
5) It’s all talk. Encourage socialization for your little ones with Manners & Co.’s TableTalk Conversation Cards. Enjoy watching your kids engage and include others at the table.
Manners & Co.’s TableTalk Cards teach your kids about mealtime conversations.
BONUS: Help them write and send a thank-you note to the host or to someone who was kind to them, and keep the lessons going!
