Work rugs serve a specific pedagogical purpose in the Montessori environment — they define the child's individual workspace, signal to others that this work is in progress, and develop the child's sense of order and respect for shared learning spaces. They are a small but essential element of the prepared environment Dr. Montessori considered fundamental to self-directed learning. Browse our complete collection of Montessori materials — including furniture, supplies, and all five curriculum areas for children from birth through age 12.
