subject: Classroom Rugs - Creating a Comfortable Space [print this page] Children feel enthused and energized by bright colors. These bright colors are stimulating to them, so keep that in mind when picking out your classroom rugs. Animals on rugs are something else that children tend to like. They can befriend or identify with the image of an animal on a rug if they are feeling uncomfortable, or the animal can cheer them up in some way. Whatever kids rug you decide to choose for your classroom, be sure it is made of a durable fabric that is easy to clean. You want to be able to quickly remove any food, dirt, ink, or other mess that gets on the rug without any trouble. You also want to be sure that the rug lasts for a long time and delights the many children who will use it for years to come.
