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.

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!

They are long. I used these for kindergartens and just cut the length to make them shorter, but they would be too long if not.

Yes, although it's not the best use of the design. They work well in the stack mode and interlock, when set on their side they can move if jarred.To aid in title selection I use tags ( on the end on the box) to catalog the tiles and rating then stack on the self in my library. They should work either way, enjoy.

Hello Ms. G, Yes there are 6 - rows of 3 - 2 x 4 inch tiles per row. I suggest you a few by extra rows to cover any breakage or surprises. Leo

I have a 12 x 12 mat and I made cupcake boxes that held 4 regular size cupcakes, so I would say that you could make boxes that held one or two cupcakes, but not the 4 cupcake box.

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

they are 2 inches wide and 3 inches long hope this helps--we have used other sets and I believe that the tiles are pretty much the same size

Not at all. One set can accommodate three kids easily, as long as they're all in one place and into it. It's enuf for me and my son, and that's two kids right there!

no, not at all. it is too thick and stiff. I'm very happy with these mats so far. They are great for my son to play on instead of the hardwood floor. One great thing is that I can make it bigger or smaller depending on the space just by removing or adding tiles. As far as the end pieces coming off, any brand of mats will do this when children play on them. I solved this issue by placing some gorilla tape on the bottom side at the edge. I used Gorilla brand because it is much less likely to stain the floor with residue. Cheap duct tape will stain.

I am a kindergarten teacher and have placed these on my table for guided reading groups, small math groups, and small writing groups. They do peel off easily. They leave a slight sticky residue, but that easily comes off the table with a baby wipe. I have not tried to restick them after peeling them off because as I said, I teach kindergarten and use them for many small group activities. The children eventually have messed with them enough that I have to replace them due to wear and tear. Because of this, I cut them in half just to make the pack last longer.

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.

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.

In the product description down the page, they state "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. Thi set includes 25 pieces, 9 tiles and 12 edges, and 4 corners. The assembled mat covers a 3.6x3.6 feet (44" X 44")." I have trouble with my knees and can't get down to measure these, but I love them...we're thinking about getting some to put in front of my sink and stove because they are so comfortable to walk on!

The blocks that I purchased were normal size for "kindergarten"... school activities. Our grandchildren who are 6 and 7 love them. You can tell the size by estimating the size of the children in the photo to the stacked blocks they are playing with.

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.
