The kids are looking forward to using them once we are able to put them down on the floor. We are waiting for some nicer weather so that they don't get ruined with all the salt and snow getting brought into the building. The plan is to put them down in the Gym hallway, indoor recess space and at the end of the hallways. They are so cute and I know the kids will love them. They are bright and colorful and will be sure to engage them. It will be nice to have some break opportunities to offer the kids outside of the classroom. They are going to provide endless fun to those that need a sensory break, or just a break out of the classroom to regulate themselves.
