This video shares all of the tips and tricks I’ve learned about FLEXIBLE SEATING over the last 2 years. I hope it’s helpful! Sadly, a lot of the stuff I bought is no longer available, but tried to find similar things and link them below. The prices are not always the best prices..use coupons and look for sales!

IKEA Lack Side Tables. I don’t see them in green anymore, but they have lots of other colors. And they’re only $7.99!

Upholstered Navy Chairs
It looks like Target no longer carries these chairs, but I found similar ones on Amazon. They get good reviews,

Plastic Lap Desks
I bought mine at Hobby Lobby (they’re $6.99, but use a coupon or wait for a sale!). I have also seen them at Walmart and Michael’s.

IKEA Pillows
Again-they no longer carry mine. This is the closest thing I can find. But you can get pillows lots of places. Just look for ones with removable covers!

IKEA Bath Mats (Badaren)
These have help up VERY WELL! I got the 16 x 24” rectangles ($3.99)

And the 22” circles ($4.99)

Storage Cube Ottomans
I got mine at Target. I don’t see them on their website, but it doesn’t mean they won’t have them when they put their “dorm” stuff out. I did find something similar on the Walmart website:

Scoop Rockers
I see these a LOT in the summer and have seen them as low as $3 each. Walmart has a set of 6 for $30. These were a great investment and have held up very well over the years.

Gray and White Striped Teepee
I got it at Hobby Lobby. It’s $99.99, but goes on sale in stores for 50% off fairly often. Yes...this was a splurge!

“Bouncy” Stools: Safco Products 4755GS Runtz Ball Chair, Sour Apple
I got mine through a Donors Choose grant!

Thank you for making this video. You have the most incredible ideas on your website. I have learned so much from you! I have those IKEA green circle rugs. They are so soft. The students enjoy them. My class did not like my rocker chairs this past year. I gave them to another teacher. Maybe I should have held onto them. I got them at Big Lots for a pretty good price.
Thank you for excellent tips!
I'm trying to figure out how to start flexible setting so this was a great help! I feel like I'll be worried about them fighting over certain spots... do you ever have that happen? Do you call them all at once to find a place to work? Or by groups, individuals etc?
LOVE this, thank you.
My question as a parent of a child with ADHD with specific accommodations-is how do you deal with a child who’s IEP requires an assigned seat? Flexible seating is a scary thing for me as a special needs parent because all these teachers talk about choice...but my child doesn’t make choices easily and very often makes bad choices.
Nichole Bird I would give them a seat! I had a little boy last year that preferred to sit in the same spot every day. And that’s OK!
What a better way to start learning about making appropriate choices in a safe environment!!! I teach 5th grade and often have the inclusion class(class with special ed. students). I've found my ADHD friends thrive in my full flexible seating classroom. They often choose wobble stools, Swivel chairs, or stand up work stations so they can move while working. It's actually helped them focus more.
Do you teach at a public or private school? Your kids look like they have lots of play time which is fabulous!
Do you recommend to start shopping for classroom before coming a teacher I graduate in 2021 and I’m stay at home mom
