The Straight Edge, Inc. designs and produces educational placemats, educational puzzles and interactive children's books.

I received the cutest educational placemats for review. The Read a Mat placemats are thick, long-lasting vinyl mats measuring 11 1/2" x 17 1/2".

They're great as a gift, homework helper, teacher resource and place mat, in over forty titles in areas including basic skills, astronomy, geography, math, performing arts, and, history.

The Day at the Beach Mat received the Best Product Award from Dr.Toy in 2007.

We love our Day at the Beach (how to stay safe and healthy at the beach), Visit to the Doctor (reduce doctor visit anxiety, and, teach good health habits), and, Street Smarts (street safety tips for ages 6-9) mats. They are very sturdy (important when you have fork jabbers at the table), and, wipe up easily.

They are $5-$6 each, and, are available at various locations including teacher supply stores in the United States.

Also, be sure to check out the Straight Edge Inc. website for all their educational products.
