Cycle 3 History and Science Placemats

Make mealtimes meaningful with these Cycle 3 History & Science Placemats! These placemats are designed to go along with Cycle 3 memory work and help children review history and science in a simple, visual, and engaging way.

They not only review key facts but also dive deeper with timelines, maps, captions, diagrams, and thoughtfully designed images. Beautiful and engaging, they make it easy for kids to soak up history and science while eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner—no prep required!

These placemats are designed to coordinate beautifully with Cycle 3 memory work, but they also stand on their own. They make a great supplement to any U.S. history, government, anatomy, or science study.

Humble Heart Press has the complete set already prepared as 24 double-sided placemats, with history on one side and science on the other. We worked directly with them to make printing simple, affordable, and stress-free—without the guesswork of sizing, double-sided setup, or finding the right print option.

Please also keep in mind that print shop prices for larger paper can vary, so it’s worth checking your local printer or office store ahead of time.
