Why

Set your holiday table with these colorful, seasonal place tags. Everyone in your family will be Sitting Pretty!

Steps

1. 1. Use Crayola® Scissors to cut enough squares of construction paper for each dinner guest.
2. 2. Fold the squares in half, then use Crayola Gel Markers to create a holiday border for each place tag. Gel markers begin very light, then become bright and beautiful as they dry.
3. 3. Write one person's name on each place tag. Use them to mark table settings for each person at your holiday dinner.

When & Where

"When our Sunday school had a Christmas luncheon, children made place tags for their families. What a nice holiday touch!"
- Ordell F., pastor.

"We invited neighbors to join our Kwanzaa celebration. These tags helped everyone feel at home."
- Davu M., dad of 9- and 11-year-olds.

Interesting Info

Formal table settings have a definite place for each knife, spoon, and fork, as well each plate and glass. The place card goes behind the main plate, facing outward, so it can be viewed from the outer edge of the table as guests walk by.

Safety Guidelines

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
