Now on our second job, second state in the midwest, and 2 more kids, we are still without family nearby. Having been alone for most holidays over the past eight years, we are now somewhat used to it. As our friends and neighbors gather with their families during the holidays, I try my best to make our own holiday celebrations special.
The holiday season is a time of joy for many. Family and friends gather together to celebrate and uphold traditions. While we will be having some fun with friends this holiday season, when my family of 5 sits down enjoy our traditional Christmas dinner it will be special, fancy, and kid friendly thanks to Kimberly Clark products from Walmart.
Directions for folding your paper towel:
It’s pretty easy to do and the Viva® Paper Towels are very durable so they are a good option. Now when you set the table just tuck the tableware into the pouch for a fancy place setting. Even though we are giving our kids plastic utensils, they have the pouch and feel like a special guest at the table.
What are your #HolidayNecessities? How do you create a special holiday season for your loved ones?

So cute! I think kids love to be included in the formal traditions of the holidays. It makes them feel grown up. I will have to do this at Christmas dinner.

I love the way that paper towel is folder for the place setting. It looks so elegant and nice.

I love that cute place setting. How you folded that paper towel is so cute. I also love those new Kleenex tissue canisters. They’re so pretty for leaving out on the table!

I remember when my husband, children and I lived in OK for 4 years. I also remember trying to make everything festive for those Christmases we couldn’t go home to GA. That napkin fold is so pretty and I’m going to try to duplicate it on my table this year.

This is super cute! The kids love to have a dressy grown up table setting like the adults do. How fun!
Mary Edwards says
This is a super cute idea. What a great way to make the feel included!

I think that this is great to help the kids feel included and appreciated. Plus, it is great practice for when you begin taking them to upscale restaurants – they will know what’s going on! Very cute and fun idea!

I love this. Mostly because it shows me I actually can make things nice, even on a budget 🙂
Cassie says
This is so cool! I can’t believe you made paper towels and plastic utensils look elegant.

This is great! The kids always outnumber the adults at our family holiday gatherings. They will love this!

My hubby worked in a restaurant for a long time when he was younger. He still remembers how to fold paper napkins into fun shapes.

Such a lovely idea! My girls would really enjoy making this place setting and be able to sit and eat there for a fancy dinner.

This is a great idea for the kids (and this will also save on washing dishes)! I think I will do this for the kids that come to my house this year 😀
Censie says
Thanks for this idea. I am going to do this at our Christmas dinner. We have a lot of kids planned for dinner so this would be a fun thing for them to feel special for sure!
