Afternoon all. I'm looking for a table cloth for my dining room table so that the LO's can do their crafts at the big dining room table, out of the reach of the one year old. I seem to have a very smooth, silky, slippery table and my current table cloths are actually a bit of a hazard when the kids lean on them to reach for something. They were fine on the little coffee table but the kids could easily lose their balance and topple off the higher dining chairs now. I need one with a rubber back or something. Do any of you have one and if so, where did you get it from? Many thanks. x

I have a strip of that non slip waffle stuff on a roll under my tablecloth - seems to do the trick. Not sure what it is called but hope you know what I mean - you can get it to put under rugs etc :o

or tablecloth clips? they don't fit on my table though :rolleyes:

I know exactly what you mean, but don't know what it's called I got mine from a caravan shop and works very well, and on tea trays that ds uses

I buy PVC tablecloth on a roll from Dunelm. It comes in some lovely children's patterns - pencils, cow print, grass! It's cheap & cheerful :thumbsup:

We too have the tablecloths from Dunelm, we have a couple and have folded the edges over and used Velcro, this makes them nice and tight and they dont slip when the LOs pull on them.

Really like that idea! Will have to copy! Thanks.

Lol this is what I use - though I fold the corners in and sew into place - easy to take on and off but LO cant pull off table.

I like this!! I have a waterproof table cloth from John Lewis (in the off cut section!) but it's slips off our glass table :rolleyes:
I'm going to have a look at this.

Thank you! :thumbsup:
