Your child may enjoy helping you today! Teach your child how to fold napkins. (This may be more meaningful if the napkins have just come out of the dryer.) Show your child how to make a crease and make the corners meet. Continue making the corners meet until they've reached the desired shape. Depending on your style, your child can fold the napkins into rectangles, squares, or triangles.
