Its earthy appeal and functional design make it a practical yet beautiful addition to any educator's toolkit.

Educational Benefits:

• Supports Sensory Development- The woven jute fibres provide a unique texture, inviting children to explore with their hands and bare feet. Sensory input like this helps enhance tactile awareness and body perception.
• Encourages Social Interaction - Large enough for group gatherings, the rug becomes a shared space for circle time, collaborative activities, and peer connection - fostering communication and relationship-building.
• Promotes Calm and Focus - The natural tones and earthy materials help to soften busy classroom aesthetics, creating a peaceful, welcoming setting that supports children's emotional regulation and attention spans.
• Stimulates Cognitive Engagement - By contributing to a well-designed, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing learning environment, this rug helps children feel secure and inspired - laying the foundation for deep learning and creative play.

Key Considerations When Purchasing:

• Safety First: Ensure the rug includes a non-slip backing, like this one, to reduce the risk of slips or falls.
• Durability: Jute is a strong, natural fibre ideal for high-traffic learning areas. Look for tightly woven designs that withstand repeated use.
• Size & Fit: At 240 x 180 cm, this rug provides generous floor coverage. Make sure your space allows for full placement without bunching or folding.
• Maintenance Needs: This rug does not include stain protection. It's recommended to apply a proprietary stain guard treatment before use, and to roll (not fold) the rug for storage to maintain its shape and longevity.

Care Instructions:

• To preserve the beauty and function of your jute rug:
• Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
• Test cleaning products for colourfastness first.
• Use a dry powder cleaner and always blot, never scrub.
• Vacuum without a rotating brush and be gentle on the outer serge stitching.
• Do not wet-clean or expose to direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading.
