But back during our "Day of Museums" Craig and I took a few minutes to go through the gift shop at the Natural Science Museum and we spotted something we are both excited about buying in the future - plastic educational placemats!
Here is Craig, who obviously has learned well from the Bob Barker girls, showing off the two we liked best from their selection but there are a lot of really neat ones out there. We are just going to have to have a lot of kids so we can justify purchasing them all.There's the classic map placemate, both world and USA are good solid choices, albeit lacking in creativity.
But I have a feeling Craig and I will try to oh-so-subtlely influences our children towards our own interests, with Craig prefering the presidential placemat:
while I will select the more biological types:
Either way, you have to admit it, plastic educational placemats are awesome! So do you have a favorite educational placemat, either in real life or your imaginary future?
I'm totally with Craig on this one.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't know how your herd of babies will feel about it, but I don't know if I could eat while staring at internal organs.
If I start them young, they should be able to handle it.

I speak from experience when I say that sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
agreed, I don't want to look at guts and eye parts while eating spaghetti....I window shop all the time. I wish I had a fancy kitchenaid mixer...there are a number of things I wish I had registered for, and stuff I never use. (bagle slicer...why did I think I needed that, and not a rolling pin?)
