SitSpots... where good teaching begins!
SitSpots:
- Offer every child an individualized place to sit on during carpet/calendar time
- Are colorful shapes that attach securely to carpets without glues or adhesives - no more tape on the carpeting!
- Will not peel, shift, or lift and can be vacuumed over
- Cost much less than expensive area rugs
- Attach to most commercial/industrial grade carpets that are commonly used in public schools, buildings, pre-schools, churches, etc.
- Will adhere to most carpeting but not all; therefore, we recommend checking your carpet for compatibility. Please follow these simple steps listed below:
You will need one piece of Velcro®, approximately 4" long, to check your carpet.
- Separate the Velcro® pieces and use only the rough side of the Velcro® for this carpet check, you will not need the soft fuzzy side.
- Place the piece of Velcro® ROUGH SIDE FACING DOWN onto your carpeting with the smooth side facing up; then press it down firmly onto the carpet.
- Slowly remove the piece of Velcro® from the carpeting by pulling it upwards toward you.
- SitSpots will work on your carpeting if you noticed the piece of Velcro® grabbing your carpeting and making a "pulling apart Velcro®" sound as you removed it off of your carpeting.
- SitSpots will not work on your carpeting if the piece of Velcro® did not grab onto your carpeting and it was easily removed without any resistance.
- Space students as close together or as far apart from each other as needed
- Use SitSpots to help students understand where to go during carpet time, center activities, lines to stand in, or paths to follow
- Use SitSpots as an interactive teaching tool
Installing SitSpots are as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Place spots ROUGH side up on your carpet and slide them to the desired position
- Turn spots over - ROUGH SIDE DOWN and adjust again if needed– once satisfied – press the spots down
- Use a cylinder type object to roll over spots ex: rolling pin, wooden dowel, etc. concentrating on the edges
Removing SitSpots:
Lift an edge of a spot and gently pull it upward until the spot is completely detached.
