Inside Slippers

 Ever get tired of trying to find non-character slippers?  It's practically impossible, ask me how I know!

 These little slippers are light on hot footed kids and grippy on slippery floors, as the bottoms are the same bumpy stuff as on footie pjs.

 No ties or velcro to fuss with, these slip on and off with ease, getting your kids in the door and ready to work in record time.

Constructed of tan denim and cheerful cotton, with a reinforced denim toe and cotton lining, these will last as long as they still fit and then some.  Completely machine washable with like colors, shape to dry.  Many colors to choose from, just let me know.

Sit Upons

 These cheerful mats can really help at story time.  Everyone gets a place, and everyone in his or her place.

 There is even one for the teacher. 

 The large size measures about 18' diameter, the kid size is about 12" across.  They are a single thickness and meant for inside.  For outside, I make mats with an oilcloth backing so they can go on damp ground.

Bound with a cheerful hand made bias tape, these simple mats will brighten your library and classroom.

Messenger Bags

 Messenger bags are really useful to have around, for storing your countless collections (first you have to sort them!) or for hunting and gathering outside or around the house.  These three were made for all our medical supplies and for at-home role play.

 Those below were made for a scavenger hunt two years ago and have been used and reused at the school ever since. 

Any logo or sentiment can be put on the front flap, and they can be made as wide or as deep as necessary. 
I keep the straps short and the dimensions manageable for small people but teachers sometimes need a few bags for their collections too.

Continent Folders

These folders were born one day when Ms. P noticed the plastic folders that held photos for each continent were getting worn out and grim.

Each folder has a front flap with the color coded map of the continent and the name.  Constructed of beige denim and backed with interior cardboard these folders will last for years of rugged use.

These folders measure 18" across and 12" high and are about an inch deep, giving lots of room for letter or legal size photos and materials.

The sides of the folders are color coded as well, so depending on your shelves and organization you can quickly identify them in the pile.

You and your kids will love using these.

Please contact me with any questions about the test designs shown here.  I'm always working to improve my products and designs and make them really work in the classroom and at home.  If you don't see something you need, let me know and I might be able to make it for you!

I work in a small studio in a century-old house in Virginia.  When my children began attending Montessori primary classes I started helping make materials for the school - towels, polishing mitts, hand towels, cloth boxes and baskets, a sewing kit, sitting mats, and continent folders.  I'm adding slippers and aprons.  Everything is made to the highest standards, laundered, and tested on my own children or in their school to see how the materials wear.

Please take a look around and contact me for information on ordering and shipping.
