Rug

I added a rug to the playroom to start using during our little circle time. It helps Q stay in one spot and if she does get up to get something, I can say, "bring it to the rug!" It gives her a bit of a sense of boundary.
Did you know that rolling up a rug at clean-up time actually helps to promote pre-reading skills? Here's how:
First teach your child to fold it from left to right (don't look at this picture--I flipped it the wrong way on my computer, yikes).
Then teach them to roll it from top to bottom.
This is teaching an important concept that print goes from left to right and top to bottom and even something as simple as rolling a rug can help foster print awareness!
