Description
The air hums with possibility, the kind that turns "I can't read" into "Watch this!" That's the magic of the Chalk and Play Literacy Rug. It's not just a rug. It's a world where letters leap off the page, where kids don't learn the alphabet, they fall in love with it.
Sizes: 6' x 9' and 8' x 12'

Imagine this: A classroom buzzing with little voices, not in chaos, but in wonder. A boy with wide eyes traces the curve of "S" on a soft blue canvas, his finger gliding like it's uncovering a secret treasure.
You know the struggle, teacher. You've seen it in those first weeks: the fidgety feet, the wandering eyes, the sighs when phonics time rolls around. Kids stare at flashcards like they're ancient hieroglyphs, memorizing by rote, forgetting by recess. But deep down, you know they crave more. They want to touch, to create, to make the letters their own.
Uppercase and lowercase letters dance around the edges, red A's for adventure, green B's for blooming ideas, yellow C's for curiosity that never ends. The center? A vast, chalkboard-ready grid, waiting for markers, dreams, and discoveries.
And the letters? They're not flat and forgotten. They're invitations. "Draw me," they say. "Write a story with my shape." One child scribbles "cat" in the C square, another connects dots to form "elephant" in the E zone. Suddenly, literacy isn't a lesson, it's a playground. The rug's anti-microbial treatment and stain-resistant finish mean spills from creative chaos wipe away like yesterday's worries, leaving only the joy.

Made by Carpets for Kids
Designed for Classrooms
Classroom rugs serve a very different purpose than rugs made for homes or decorative spaces. This rug was designed specifically for learning environments where students sit, move, and learn every day.
What makes this a classroom rug:
- Intentional spacing to support personal space and classroom routines
- Colors chosen for focus, not visual overload
- Materials designed for daily use, not occasional foot traffic
- Sizes planned for real classrooms, not living rooms
Many rugs sold online are created for home décor and adapted for classrooms. This rug was designed with teachers and students in mind from the start.
If you’re furnishing a classroom, therapy space, or learning environment, choosing a rug designed specifically for that purpose makes a meaningful difference throughout the school year.
Delivery About 4 - 7 Business Days
This rug ships directly from the manufacturer in Georgia.
Estimated ground delivery is approximately 4 – 7 business days.
Once your order ships, we’ll email you tracking information so you can follow its delivery.
Choosing the right classroom rug is about more than picking a design you love. A little planning now helps ensure your rug fits your space, your schedule, and your classroom routine.
Here are a few helpful things to consider before ordering.
📏 Have you measured your space?
Classroom rugs come in many sizes, and measuring ahead of time helps avoid surprises. Be sure to allow space for walkways, furniture, and doors to open comfortably.
🚚 Have you checked the shipping timeline?
Some of our rugs are in stock and ready to ship, often leaving the warehouse in one or two business days. Others are made to order, created specifically for your classroom, and may take a month or more to deliver.
Many schools plan ahead and choose made-to-order rugs to get exactly what they want. If timing is important, our Quick Ship options are a great solution.
🧹 Are you comfortable with routine cleaning?
Classroom rugs are designed for daily use, but like any rug in a learning space, they benefit from regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning to keep them looking their best.
🧼 Do you have access to a simple cleaning solution?
Accidents happen. Having access to an easy-to-use carpet cleaner or spot-cleaning method can help extend the life of your rug and keep your classroom fresh.
💛 Why this matters
As classroom rug specialists, our goal is to help you choose a rug that works beautifully in real learning spaces, not just in photos. A well-chosen rug supports routines, learning, and comfort all year long.
If you ever have questions about sizing, shipping, or choosing the right rug for your space, we’re always happy to help.
