OK- where can I find a presentation for introducing mats for Montessori work? I know one of you has just the kind of thing I'm looking for right at your finger tips, but I've been cruising around tonight at different sites and can't find what I am looking for- maybe because I'm tired and my brain is fuzzy.

Also- where did you buy your mats? I know many of you have been so creative- please tell me (or show me) what you are using and where you found it.

After we get moved to our new house I plan to set up my learning center and start at the very beginning with how to use a mat and what the trays are for. I have a general idea of how to present these, but I would love to have a printed page in my binder.

Rolling Up a Rug

Walking Around a Rug

Carrying a Rug

Unrolling a Rug and Carrying It

These are what we use. I couldn't find anything that would work in the stores. I know some have, so I would suggest looking at Target or something first, but I could only find fuzzy rugs

I like the ones I ordered very much.

ThanK you! The one place I didn't look. And, as luck would have it, dh is currently in India for work and was asking if I wanted a sari. I'm going to ask him to bring home rugs!

Wonderful links Jennifer, thank you!! And I'm totally with you on the fuzzy rug thing, too distracting IMHO
