Indoor/Outdoor Hopscotch Mat

Indoor/Outdoor Hopscotch Mat
Create a unique gift for a special child that can be used any season, burns energy, and promotes coordination and fitness!  I made these Hopscotch Mats as Christmas gifts for my daughter and a niece.  The canvas mat is colorful and fun, can be taken to the park or used in your living room, and rolls up for easy storage.  My instructions require some sewing (hemming edge of mat and sewing beanbags), but a non-sewer could easily adapt it using a glue gun to hem the mat, and painting some small rocks to replace the beanbags.
