I am a kindergarten teacher and would like to use these for a mat. Are the tiles large enough for each student to comfortably sit in one tile?

Each piece is 12 inches, by 12 inches. Could they sit on it, yes, but with VERY little "wiggle" room.

I suppose they would be big enough for kindergarten age kids, as long as they sit still and don't move around. However, you would not be able to have solid edgings on each tile.

It depends upon the size of the child. My nephew is about 4 1/2 and hasn't started Kindergarten yet, but there is still room for him to grow and continue to use the desk set.

Absolutely. We use for Kindergarten-small adults. They are fitted enough not to fall off little ones but big enough to fit people up to about 120 lbs.

The colored ones, there is a smooth and a textured side. I put the textured side up. I put it in our laundry/playroom. Texture would provide 'traction' in the event it got wet or damp. That being said, I can't see that it would matter as the color is all the way through the tile. They are comfie on the legs, feet, and knees while working or playing on that floor. We also bought the ones that had a wood pattern. Those have the wood pattern on only one side.

According to the We Sell Mats website (wesellmats.com), they are 3/8" thick. Most others I see are 5/8" so I'm wondering if these are thick enough to provide good padding for a baby, particularly over a very hard tile floor. Any opinions on that?

I have used them for preschool. They aren't super sturdy but they have worked fine for us.

I'm not an expert but I would say "no". The tiles that pop off would probably be classified as choking hazard size.

The tiles are 1" X 2" in size. The dots are large so it is a great set for anyone needing an enlarged print/size. Colors are bright. The tiles are very sturdy...nice.

The squares are small - like tile. The measure 13.5" so probably not very economical, may depend on the area you want to cover.

I bought this recently and the tiles and board are the standard sizes. The board of course is slightly longer due to the hinges and drawers, but maybe only an inch or two in both directions.

I think so! I know that I have put them in four different classrooms. Everyone loves them! The children apear to be clamer and so do my staff. If youhave anymore questions please do not hesitate to ask. I am going to purschase more of them in the fall and I will be putting them in every classroom in my building!

Yes! Very flat, they slide on tile easily. Recommend adherening it to the floor or use over carpet.

it all depends whether your 12x12 tiles have 5 notches just like the picture is showing that they are 10 notches for 24x24. We tried to combine with another brand and just because the middle notch is oriented in another direction, it was not possible to do so. The picture really gives you an idea on how these assemble together. Compare with what you are having.

Just as Joy said - the tiles are of various configurations, like "L" shapes, for example, so they will only fit certain ways and may not fit at all, depending on how much space is left. Your tiles have to touch corners. The strategy is to play as many of your tiles as possible while blocking other players' possibilities. Not hard to understand, so it's ideal for younger players. Each game is different depending on how each person plays/strategizes.

There are rubber pads about 2" square at each corner. It would probably be fine on the floor but felt pads would be good too. You may not need the mat unless you are protecting the floor from sweat.

Absolutely ... we've been using these in the classroom for my son since he was in kindergarten.

Each tile is made of high density foam measuring 12" x 12" and .5" thick making it safe for children of all ages from birth. It is soft, washable, durable, and colorful. This set includes 25 pieces, 9 tiles and 12 edges, and 4 corners. The assembled mat covers a 3.6x3.6 feet (44" X 44").
