More Than Paper…  (http://www.morethanpaper.com) has announced that it has recently added a new line of Everyday Heroes™ laminated placemats and metal lunch boxes from Spark & Spark to its large variety of online products.  

These new and unique items all feature colorful characters in a number of professions, including chefs, doctors, firefighters, teachers, and more.  The idea behind these products is to give children positive and realistic role models to look at while they are eating, hopefully fostering a feeling of “I can do that” with the children.

“We are always looking for products that appeal to all different ages of people, and we felt that this was an area that was not covered” said Deborah Volk, owner of More Than Paper, Inc.  “Kids spend so much time watching TV where they see characters that aren’t real, and these items give them actual “Everyday Heroes™” to emulate instead.  Spark & Spark has done a great job in creating these products and we felt they were a natural fit on our website.”

The laminated placemats are double-sided and come with 1 non-toxic crayon. The front of the placemats show the character in the chosen profession and the backs of the placemats feature activities such as vocabulary, colors and word games.  The lunch boxes are lead-free and the fronts show the character in the chosen profession, and the backs of the lunch boxes will remind and encourage the children to eat healthy, while following the footsteps of their dream future professions.
