These hand-woven "dhurries" from India have all the qualities a Montessori work rug needs: the tight weave provides children with a smooth work surface; the rugs lie flat, roll up easily, and stand upright in a rack.
With hemmed ends, there is no fringe to fray or knot. 100% cotton. Machine wash cold, hang to dry; expect some shrinkage. Natural (off-white) color; some variations should be expected.

The rugs are a quality prodcut. They roll easily, are sturdy. The coloring and hemmed work are perfect for my use. The two sizes are great for Montessori work. Best buy.

I love that these rugs are now hemmed. The fabric is the same as before, a coarse texture(great tactile feedback), so one is still able to balance, grade, and build with sensorial materials without fear of falling cubes or prisims. I will offer the same caveat as other rugs cut from this material, though: wash in cold, shake out folds and move to dryer quickly, then remove from dryer *promptly* to make sure there are no wrinkles! :)

Very natural. Perfect Size. Long lasting. We use these rugs as an underlay for art and building work and to demonstrate new lessons/stories in our Godly Play classroom with 3-6 year olds. I'm sure I'll be shopping here again.

The description of this product is incorrect. The tight weave does not provide a smooth work surface, the rug does not lie flat, it's not kid friendly,bottom line I am not happy with it.
