Eric Carle Elementary Blue Alphabet Kids Machine Washable Area Rug Blue/Orange, 35"x51"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect blend of learning, color, and durability!As a childcare owner, I’m always hunting for classroom items that can survive daily toddler traffic and spark curiosity. This Eric Carle alphabet rug checks every box. The colors are vibrant and true to the photos, and the familiar Eric Carle animal illustrations instantly draw the children in—within minutes they were hopping from letter to letter, naming the animals and practicing phonics without any coaxing from me.The 6’ 6” × 9’ 5” size is generous enough to comfortably seat a whole circle-time group yet still fits neatly in our reading nook. Best of all, it’s genuinely machine-washable. After a paint-splatter incident, I rolled it up, tossed it into our commercial washer, and it emerged looking brand-new—no fading, fraying, or bunching. The backing also holds firm on hardwood and carpet alike, so there’s no sliding during our more energetic activities.If you need an educational rug that can handle the realities of a busy classroom (or a playroom at home) while brightening the space, this is it. Highly recommended!

The rug is so neat. It’s very vibrant in color it going in a kindergarten classroom and very much could be used as a learning tool to have fun with.

The media could not be loaded. This rug is so cute! I bought it to designate a play area in my nursery and am so impressed with the quality! I bought the pink 35" x 51" for $20 and think it's a great value for the money! As a former preschool teacher, It's hard to find quality kids rugs for that price and I would recommend this rug for classroom use.Pros:- As described, my rug arrived clean and in good condition- True to Eric Carle theme- Easy to clean (cat puked first day on the G Giraffe and you can't tell at all!)- Arrived flat without creasing- Fits nicely in front of Ikea Kallax shelfCons:- Thin, does not provide much cushion, but works well for my purposes- I ordered the pink rug and it is more of a bubble gum color than a pastel- Not all of the letter examples are the best to promote early reading (for example, it's better to demonstrate G with a hard 'g' sound like goat) but it does give some good examples for letters that notoriously get bad examples (for example, X got what looks to be a fox to demonstrate the 'x' sound)- These rugs are often out of stock and it can be hard to get the color/size you wantOverall this rug is perfect for a storybook nursery theme, a classroom, or a children's library!

Looks so cute in my kindergarten class!! A great size!! Does get dirty easily but to be expected with littles!!

We have this from years ago and still in great condition. I love that i can wash it in the washer!

I love the color of this rug however it gets dirty so fast and all the dirt shows. I had it in my classroom but was constantly having to clean it. It says machine washable but I noticed it wouldn’t clean very well because of the size l. The bottom also started to get ruined when machine washing so I switched to cleaning with a green machine but it was way too much work. The kids did like how soft it was but we were constantly having to shift where it was because it would bunch up on top of the carpet in my classroom. I personally think it’s too much work to maintain in a classroom where dirty feet will step on it all day long.

The quality, size and design of the rug are all great especially for the price. Definitely recommend for kids rooms, play rooms, classrooms etc!

Bought several months ago now and it is holding up well in a classroom of 2 year olds. It's a beautiful carpet.
