{"product_id":"square-floor-cushion-66-66-cm","title":"Square Floor Cushion – 66 × 66 cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA soft place for stories and quiet activities\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Square Floor Cushion is a 66 × 66 cm cushion for creating a comfortable place to sit, read or play in an early years setting. A nature-inspired printed top brings colour and detail to the design, while the fibre core and faux-suede base give it a soft furnishing character. Choose a colour and pattern to suit your nursery, classroom or play area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne cushion is supplied in your selected combination. There are five colours and three patterns, giving you 15 choices within the same square format. Whether you are adding a single reading place or selecting several cushions separately for a larger area, the options let you plan an arrangement around your setting and the children who use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne cushion, fifteen design choices\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelect Olive, Plum, Grey, Forest or Aqua, then choose Flowers, Leaves or Trees for the printed top. The nature designs offer different visual details to explore, from repeated floral forms to leaf shapes and stylised trees. Check the image for the exact combination you choose so you can see its colours and artwork together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choices are selectable options, so you can decide which cushion best suits your space. A single nature print might complement an existing theme, or you might choose several different combinations in separate purchases for children to compare. Each option retains the same 660 × 660 mm square dimensions, making it straightforward to plan the space needed for each cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA defined place within a reading corner\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosition the cushion beside a low book display to create an obvious invitation to sit with a story. A child can choose a book and settle onto the cushion while an adult joins them nearby. The printed surface gives the place a recognisable appearance, helping it become part of a familiar classroom or nursery routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cushion is large enough to form a distinct floor seating place, but its overall arrangement still needs to suit the space around it. Allow room to approach the cushion, reach the books and move away comfortably. Before a shared activity, consider where the adult will sit and whether the child can see the pictures without turning awkwardly around nearby furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA fibre core and faux-suede base\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cushion has a fibre core and a faux-suede base. These verified features give you useful information about its construction when choosing soft furnishings for your provision. The printed top adds visual interest, and children can explore how the surface feels while sitting or handling the cushion as part of an appropriate activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn adult might introduce words such as soft, smooth or patterned while listening to the child's own description. Different children may respond to the same surface in different ways, so leave room for individual preferences. The cushion provides an opportunity for everyday sensory observation within a familiar activity rather than requiring a separate structured session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFollow the details in a nature print\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach pattern gives children visible subjects to notice. With Flowers, a child might point to a particular colour or look for a smaller flower beside a larger one. Leaves can prompt a conversation about outlines and stems. Trees offer stylised shapes that can be compared with illustrations in a book or trees visible through a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet the child's observation guide the next question. Asking where a detail appears, which shape they noticed first or how two parts look similar gives a purpose to descriptive language. Children can respond with a word, a gesture or a pointed finger. Returning to the same cushion on another day may reveal a different detail that catches their interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConnect the cushion with your activity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cushion can serve as a seating place while other resources provide the activity itself. Share a picture book, talk about a drawing or invite a child to explain something they have made. The cushion stays central to the floor arrangement without needing extra furnishings to turn the area into a small, welcoming place to pause.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a creative follow-up, offer separate paper and drawing materials and look together at one part of the nature print. A child might experiment with repeated marks, choose colours from the design or draw their own version of a leaf or flower. Keep the cushion available as a reference while allowing the child to make different choices in their own work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMake children part of the arrangement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere appropriate, invite a child to help decide where the cushion belongs. They can consider whether there is room beside the bookshelf, which way the print should face or where an adult could sit nearby. These small decisions offer a concrete reason to explain a preference and listen to another person's suggestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep any handling activity gentle and appropriate to the individual child, with adult help where needed. Returning the cushion to a familiar place after use can become part of looking after the reading area and preparing it for the next person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAge guidance and practical planning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Square Floor Cushion is identified by the supplier for children aged 12 months and above.
