Montessori Sitting Mats – Cotton 3×3 ft

The Montessori Sitting Mats – Cotton are essential materials used in Montessori environments to provide children with a defined, personal workspace. Each mat measures 3 ft × 3 ft, offering ample space for laying out Montessori materials, conducting activities, and maintaining order during work sessions. Made from soft, breathable cotton, the mat is comfortable for children to sit on while also providing a stable, non-distracting surface for materials.

Working mats play a crucial role in Montessori classrooms by teaching children how to respect boundaries, care for their environment, and organise their work. When a child unrolls or sets out a mat, they mark their own work area and learn to keep materials within those boundaries—promoting focus, independence, and responsibility.

Durable yet lightweight, these cotton mats are easy to fold, carry, and store. They are perfect for use with Montessori sensorial, language, math, and practical life materials, ensuring that activities remain orderly and well-contained.
