When I was at an elementary school, I went to several carpet stores and
asked if they would donate some carpet squares...many gave me 10 or more. I
kept them in a pile and the kids willingly got their "magic carpets" for
story time...because every book is an adventure and can take us to other
places (that is how I introduced them to the kids). I had a huge map on the
wall as they'd walk in they would look at where our book was taking us
today...I had an X you are here and a * on the locale of the book. It also
kept kids from kicking each other because they sat crossed legged on the
carpet squares.

Subject: Target:Storytime pillows/ seating
Hi all-
I am writing to ask for your advice about story pillows or some type of
seating for storytime. Last year, I was not allowed to purchase a rug
(the school is concerned about bugs) so the students had to sit on the
floor. It was terrible and after a while in some classes they would
refuse
and drag their chairs over. What I am looking for is something inviting
that lasts and does not take up too much space and of course the cost
should not be too astronomical! I've seen the story mats in Highsmith
and
I was wondering if any one has used these and how durable are they?
Thanks so much for your help in advance.
