SPRING GARDEN Desk Mats

Give your students a gentle, organised workspace with this set of editable student desk mats designed in a soft pastel colourway. These desk mats act as a personal learning reference, keeping key literacy and numeracy supports visible and accessible throughout the day.

Each mat brings together commonly used classroom information in one clear layout, helping students work more independently during reading, writing, and maths lessons. The subtle pastel tones create a calm, uncluttered look that suits neutral, modern, or soft rainbow classroom themes while remaining highly functional for everyday classroom use.

With full PowerPoint editability, you can adjust text, spelling, and visual elements to match your curriculum, classroom routines, or individual student needs. Ideal for Kindergarten, Foundation, and early primary learners, these desk mats support confidence, focus, and self-reliance.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS RESOURCE…

★ Please view the available PREVIEWS to see more of what’s included ★

I also encourage you to ask questions before purchasing if you are uncertain of anything.

What programs do I need to open and use this product?

I recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader to open any PDF files. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free program and can be downloaded here.

To use our editable resources, you will need to have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your computer to open and edit these resources. If you don't have PowerPoint, you can access a free trial of the program here.

To edit in Canva, simply connect your Google Drive. In Canva, navigate to "Apps" in the editor side panel and select Google Drive, then click "Connect". Authorize Canva to access your Google Drive account when prompted. Locate and select the desired Google Slides presentation from your Google Drive within Canva. The presentation will be imported as a Canva design, allowing you to edit text, add elements, and use Canva's features. Smaller sized PowerPoint files (<100MB) can be imported directly to Canva for editing.

Ensuring your software is up to date can help to avoid any compatibility issues.

What does it mean if a file is editable?

Our editable files allow you to change and customize the text so you can make it exactly what you want to fit your classroom. Simply type into the text boxes provided or add in your own to edit.

Editable does not mean all parts are moveable. Any included artwork, clip art, some fonts and other graphics are fixed to abide by copyright laws and cannot be edited or removed. Colours also used cannot be edited with the exception of coloured text.

If you want the text in the editable items to match the look of the ready to print decor, you may need to purchase and install some of the fonts. I've included information on the custom fonts used within the download along with a help sheet to make sure you’re getting the most from your purchase.

You can also use any fonts you already have to truly customize the look of your classroom!

Please read through the product description to check what can be edited and, if unsure, please message me.
