Our little sea dog is the perfect companion for feeding kids. This will entice them to be interested in what’s on the table.

Extra Tips

  • Can't get the seal animal napkin to lie upright? It may be due to its stiffness. Use a thick, stiff piece of cloth or paper napkins instead! You can also starch the cloth napkin by making your own mix of starch and water. Spray it evenly on a flat surface, then iron it with an ironing board. You can also get ready-made starch spray from the store or make your own by mixing equal parts starch and water in a bowl. Then evenly coat the napkin with the mixture on a flat surface until it dries entirely, being careful not to get any of it onto your hands before drying
  • It's up to you what color your napkin you want to be! For this instruction, we recommend a grey napkin to resemble a seal.
