Description
Introduce your students to the beauty of Indigenous art with the Serpents and Sticks Classroom Rug, a captivating design by Aboriginal artist Kiz Costelloe. This vibrant 2m x 2m rug brings traditional storytelling and playful learning to your classroom. Modeled after the classic snakes and ladders game, it invites children to throw the soft dice and move across the carpet. But watch out! Land on a serpent, and you’ll slide down.
Beyond a game, this rug serves as a meaningful connection to Indigenous culture, fostering appreciation and understanding among young learners. Durable, educational, and fun, it’s an engaging way to brighten up any learning space.
This rug measures 2m x 2m, making it the perfect centerpiece for any room. The heavy-duty overlocked edges ensure durability, while the deep plush nylon cut pile provides a soft and comfortable base for extended sitting time. Ideal for heavy traffic areas, these rugs are built to withstand the demands of busy environments.
The non-slip backing ensures that your rug stays securely in place, offering both safety and comfort.
