Kids do love to move. As soon as they can get their motor skills in order, look out. Whether it’s scooting, lunging, walking, or marching, little munchkins are on the go. And when they’re old enough to attend school, they also entered the age of transport—by which I mean, they become unduly fascinated by all mechanical forms of motion, from the truck to the car, and the airplane to the train. So it’s a good idea for educational venues to acknowledge this obsession—not head-on, but rather underfoot. The Transport area rug by notNeutral gives small students their share of zooming and moving in a soft and smart wool weave.

Transport Area Rug. Manufactured by notNeutral.

Wooly Wheels for Whippersnappers

Available as a 6’ round, as well as in 3′ x 4′, 4′ x 5′, and 5′ x 8′ sizes, notNeutral’s Transport area rug gives children the kinetic feel they so desire: “Hand-drawn vehicles scoot, drive and fly together” in this 100% wool rug. Not only does its loop construction and cotton backing make Transport comfortable, but its GoodWeave certification does as well—an assurance that guarantees no illegal child labor was used in the manufacturing of the product. Hand tufted in India, Transport Area Rug itself moves a good distance to bring locomotion to life.

In Sable / Ozone or Ozone / Lotus, Transport offers a punch of color that manages to avoid the primary obsession so common in primary schools. For educational or residential use, Transport Area Rug lets kids revel in taxis and trucks, bicycles and biplanes, mopeds and motorcars.
