::: make it irresistible – with a round mat
How many times have you successfully asked your children to sit or stand in a circle on your square mat? Chances are it often creates confusion and muddle … right?
For years we struggled with making circles on a square mat and then one day it occurred to us … either we should sit and stand in a square or … get a round mat. So! we got a round mat!
We had it made it two halves, in different colours to add a bit of interest, which means we can split it in half if we so choose and we are able to instruct the children to sit or stand in one half when the need arises. The line down the middle has also come in handy at different times during action songs, mat play, games etc.,
The colours are great, the shape is great and it’s ever so practical … we love it!

Hi Sherry and Donna,
I am a new user to the site but would like to say your website has inspired me with some wonderful ideas to use with my kinder kids.
I would love to know who you got to make your circle time mat as I think this is a great idea – especiall the two tones with it.
Thanks
::: Hello raegs4 and welcome on board! We simply asked one of our kinder dad’s who owns an interiors store to make us the mat to our specifications as two semi circles in the colour we chose. You would be able to have one made from any carpet supplier we are sure. It is irresistible isn’t it?
