We use the rug every morning during our morning tub time, where students explore and create together. It's also the perfect space for small group work and peer interactions, offering a cozy and inviting area for learning and connection. I've noticed how it naturally encourages collaboration and creativity, and it's amazing to see how much joy and comfort it brings to our classroom each day.\r\n\r\nThis rug has already become a cherished part of our room and will remain a staple for many years to come. It has completely brightened the space, and I've received countless compliments from staff, parents, and students alike. During our open house, families were blown away by how warm, welcoming, and fun the room felt—many said the rug was the first thing that caught their eye.
