Easy Placemats

This is an easy craft that even a young child can do. All it takes is a couple of pieces of construction paper, scissors, a pencil, and a ruler. A paper cutter will make things go faster, but you can get by with just scissors.



Use the pencil and ruler to mark where to cut slits on the base sheet, then cut the other sheet into strips. Weave the strips into the strips on the first sheet, and you have a placemat! To make a placemat for a certain holiday or event, you can pick colored sheets that match the theme of the event.
