They love to run their fingers over the mat making designs and watching them fade.\r\n\r\nThey also enjoy the pop-its when we are having carpet time. This can be a time the is more challenging for some students to stay focused. A pop-it gives their hands something to do other than touch another student or get up and under the room.
