I would like to make "set the table" placemats for my little people.
I think it may the help the toddlers, especially, keep their plate and cup on the table. They tend to play with them.
I looked at some store-bought ones, but they are too elaborate. They all have places for napkins and knives. I only need a spot for a cup, a plate, and a utensil.
Do you think contact paper would work to laminate these? I do not own a laminator....

contact paper should work fine, or teacher's supply stores, and maybe even Kinkos, have laminators you can use for a reasonable fee.

Clear contact paper works great!
I make new placemats for each month - construx paper with a place setting diagram on one side and pictures that relate to our themes for the month on the other - then covered with clear contact paper.
Super cheap to do and at the end of each month the kids are so excited to take theirs home and use them there:-)

I was doing this before, I may start doing it again, I would really recommend buying a laminator, I bought mine from harbour freights for 20 dollars.
