This place mat is not just any place mat, it is a place mat with the state flags on it. This is an excellent way to introduce young children to the state flags and some trivia about the states. For every state flag there is trivia including state capital, state flower, state bird, state tree, state song, state motto, and the state nickname. The best part of this place mat is that in the back it contains pictures of the flags without the names of the states written on the back so kids can practice their memorization skills. Made with a custom non-glare laminate on the front and a write-on/wipe-off laminate on the back. That's right, you can fill in the state names with a dry erase marker or washable crayon and wipe off with a wet cloth! A great way to keep your dinner table clean and help children learn about the states and their flags.
