Whenever you work with them, get out the rug -carry it level and carefully with two hands. Set it gently on the floor and slowly unroll it left to right- yes, we Montessorians are particular! It will be as if you are giving a lesson on it every time you use it just by demonstrating. When you are done, model careful rolling and returning to the spot. Even if you don't think they are watching be persistent and they will start doing it too, soon enough. These are typical 3-6 lessons. Once the rug and mat can be rolled by your 2yr old introduce folding in half. I neglected to mention there are typically four cloths in a set, so have 4 cloths for folding in half and start there. You can also stitch the line instead of drawing one like I did for a better look.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303067618477148155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398088832349151261.post-72877997546720757612009-08-20T13:35:05.351-07:002009-08-20T13:35:05.351-07:00Hi, I'm wondering when to introduce this and r...Hi, I'm wondering when to introduce this and rolling up the rug/mat's to play on with my girls. I have one that just turned 1 and one that just turned 2. My 2 year old is SO busy and doesn't seem to want to take the time to roll it. Any ideas? <br />angellsworth@gmail.com<br /><br />You're great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717510458686318856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398088832349151261.post-73870007553268066812009-08-19T06:09:53.427-07:002009-08-19T06:09:53.427-07:00yesterday I was trying to think of a way to teach ...yesterday I was trying to think of a way to teach my Little one how to fold napkins.
