Six hours in a classroom is a long time for four and five year olds! Comfortable, sturdy resting mats from Lakeshore will help my Transitional Kindergarten class rest in the middle of an active school day. Currently, the kids lay on the floor to rest--not very comfortable or hygienic! Without a clearly defined space, the kids scoot and roll around. These resting mats will allow children the individual space and comfort they need to rest and relax, which is so important for healthy brain development. The colorful mats from Lakeshore fold for easy storage, have a built-in pillow, and come with a five year warranty.
