I am really happy with this working rug from Monte Lion Montessori. The size (61 x 20.5 cm) is perfect for young children and fits beautifully on a shelf or mat without taking up too much space. The single-row lines are ideal for introducing lowercase movable alphabets, helping children clearly see letter placement and left-to-right orientation.
The quality of the material is excellent – sturdy, neat, and well finished – and it lies flat, which is so important for Montessori work. It supports phonetic spelling work wonderfully, especially when moving from sounds to simple CVC words.
As a homeschool mom using Montessori principles in South Africa, I really appreciate having access to locally made, thoughtfully designed materials like this. A practical, well-made tool that truly supports early literacy. Highly recommended!
