The main differences is that the kids are happy because they are sitting on a clean rug that isn't stained or dirty. But also, the rug you bought is larger so the kids have more space to sit. They have more space which makes them more comfortable as we learn. . It has also allowed us to make routines such as turn and talk to a partner easier because of the way the carpet is designed.
