We eat with our eyes first, and this is true of kids as well as adults. At your child's next birthday party or get-together with friends, wow them with a colorful kid tablescape. You can create a kid's tablescape with plastic dishes purchased at the local discount store or party supply store. Plastic dishes are durable, versatile and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Select a bold color pattern, such as hot pink, orange and bright green or turquoise, yellow and green.
Step2
Purchase inexpensive plastic dishes at a discount store or party supply store. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors. For example, buy hot pink and orange plates with green cups and flatware.
Step3
Cover the table with a plastic tablecloth in one of your selected colors. Layer contrasting colored vinyl or plastic place mats on top.
Step4
Pick up some paper napkins that match your dishes. Fold one under the flatware at each place setting.
Step5
For a colorful centerpiece, line a row of colorful plastic cups along the center of the table. Place one Gerbera daisy or other large blossom in each cup.
Step6
Add more color and texture to your kid's tablescape with foam stickers. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and themes. With easy peel-off backings, you can stick foam accents directly on the plastic tablecloth or onto place mats.
