I love these placemats from Jaq Jaq Bird.  What makes them special is not only are they PVC-Free, BPA-Free AND Phthalate-FREE but they are also chalk boards!  Perfect for keeping kids entertained before dinner gets on the table or after they are finished (patiently) waiting for everyone else!  A pocket on the mats hold your child’s chalk, crayons or pens.

Jaq Jaq Bird carries three different fun tools for writing on the chalk mats.  Chalk Pens are toxic and scent free.  They work like a dry-erase market, wiping up with a damp cloth.  Butter Chalk is made out of clam shells so it’s completely free of dust. They are more like crayons then chalk and don’t break as easily.  I love how versatile these are as they can be used on windows, white boards, plastics and in the bathtub.  Comes in 5 colors.  Scallop Shells Chalk is made out of scallop shells (instead of the typical calcium carbonate) and it’s also dust-free.  Comes in 5 colors.
