Product Review: Family Chat Mats Groovy Combo-Pack (Fun for Families!)
Placemats That Feed Your Mealtime Conversation
Suffering from meal time conversation issues at family dinner tables? Are you only hearing the sound of chewing or fighting? Perhaps one person tends to control the entire table conversation? If you need a little help, the brand new company called Your Chat Mat wants to help! Think of it as a family question box on a placemat and you will get a visual to what a chat mat is all about. We have all read the studies that say families who eat together and bond tend to be more self confident and engage in positive activities outside the home. Try something new and get some good conversation flowing at family mealtime and check out these interesting mats. The company likes to incorporate what they like to call ‘brain gain’ or cognitive development questions to help promote bilateral brain developmental activities for children!
Your Chat Mat are paper mats that are made in the USA with paper from sustainable sources and coated to last through several family meals. The mats are a decent size (17.5 x 12″) come in sets of twelve and no question is ever repeated in a set. One example of a question on one of our mats is, “What are you dealing with this week? Why? How can someone at the table help you get through it?” As a family who likes options, we like the Groovy Combo Pack that offers the funky looking designs from Your Chat Mat’s Creatures, Guitars and Spaceman lines. Very groovy. Oh, and you can recycled them too when you are finished. Perfect.
