Origami Animal Placemats

These sheets of paper start off as cheery and colorful place mats, but once the meal is over, they become a fun after-dinner activity for the whole family to enjoy.  Tear off the perforated instruction panel, and you are left with the perfect square required for traditional origami.  Moms, dads, and kids can each fold their mat into a cute little critter.  The set comes with 48 place mats, and each one is rated by difficulty.  Beginners can start off with an easy design, while more advanced folders can do a challenging one. ($12.49 @ Perpetual Kid)
