Mats

Our new mats are a hit! The main idea behind the mat is to define a space for the children to play in. I have read that it also helps make clean up manageable for children to do independently. We sing a song while we roll them up and put them away. Honestly, it is all pretty fun. Unrolling, playing, rolling, unrolling, playing, rolling etc.... I am still learning how to help them know proper etiquette, but it is changing things for the better.

I need to use mine more still... :) Having them has made me realize how much of our play is done on the "train table" and at their little table in the toy room. Obviously not all of it because toys are still spread far and wide though. :)
