Hello Ladies, I have ceramic tiles on my daycare floor. The floor is heated but I still felt the need to have a few area rugs on the floor for floor play. I hate carpet. Last week I purchased from Costco an 8X12 indoor/outdoor area rug. It is a slightly open weave plastic that does not feel hard. I initially thought I would use this outside on the grass as my crew is going to be fairly young and this would be good for them to play on. (I may still do this)
Anyway, I thought I would see how it would look on the daycare floor. Removing the carpets and placing it on the floor I thought it would move all over. With a couch resting on one side the rug is secure and the kids love playing on it. We have a few riding toys for indoor use and they roll so much better. I love it because it is cleaner than carpet, easy to vacuum, lifts easy to clean underneath, you can wipe it clean if there is an accident and if I want to give it a good clean I can put is on the driveway and and spray it.
At first, it has a some little waves in it due to being rolled up, but they are relaxing and should be gone in another week. The price was $50.00 and if for some reason I decide to return it, Costco has a good return policy. This is also a daycare deduction.
Have a great weekend!
