Little magic carpets.
My wonderful Hubby and I visit the local Youth Ranch stores in case we run into something useful. Yesterday was one of those days! I found an upholstery sample book tucked away in the corner of the craft section hidden below a bunch of other things!
We took it home and, since we could not see any other way, Hubby used the hammer to pry apart the metal posts holding the book together. The book had 20 samples arranged in 5 patterns and 5 sizes.
These are going to make great light-weight mats for the kids to sit on for carpet time. I am planning on having 5 work-groups next year and it will be very easy to hand each table of children a pile of mats and ask them to sit at carpet time. We can also use them as paths for things like counting games, songs, and alphabet games.
Because they are light-weight it will be easy for the Table Teacher (my helpers of the day from each table) to gather them, stack them, and put the blocks on the shelf when not in use.
Eventually, I would like to find a bunch of tasseled trim to sew around each one and turn them into our "Magic Carpets."
