MICHAEL OLAF HANDLE TRAY
Unable to find the perfect tray for the classroom, we have had these custom
made. The lovely, high quality, hardwood trays, are one of the most popular
items we carry. They are perfect for organizing and displaying all of
the many activities for the child. The light wood tones draw the child's
eye to the objects displayed on them and there is a handle at each end
for a firm hand grasp. Each piece is handmade and finished with a clear
finish that gives the child a good look at the lovely grain of the wood.
The small handle tray is 8.5" x 5." The large handle tray is
11.75" x 7."
PE05 Handle Tray, Small $22.00
PE03 Handle Tray, Large $26.50
FLOOR MATS
Floor mats are kept rolled up in a special place in the 3-6 classroom
for constant use by children. The unrolling, working, then rolling up
and putting away at the end marks the beginning and end of a work cycle,
and provides a feeling of completion and success. Floor mats mark the
private work space, and teach respect for concentration. An activity that
teaches children to be careful about stepping on mats and disturbing other's
space is to spread out several mats and to practice walking through this
maze of mats without stepping on them. This is an exercise in care of
movement as well as respect of others. Although they are available for
any work, the striped mat is often chosen for moveable alphabet, language
card activities, and any work where a straight line guide is helpful.
For use at home or at school. These beautiful striped rugs are made to
our specifications in India, of 100% cotton, 2' x 3',
