Includes - 4 pieces plus the words. It measures 23” by 6 foot 6 inches. A sensory path is a great way for kids to develop motor skills like balance, hand - eye coordination, and spatial awareness. Sensory Pathways support fine and gross motor skills, help with problem solving and social interaction. Sensory paths can help children in a calming or frustrating or anxious state. Sensory paths are being used throughout schools, daycares & hospitals to help kids when they need a break or when they need to let out their wiggles. MATERIAL - I use a permanent, high quality waterproof outdoor rated vinyl and it holds up very well to foot traffic and washing with or without sealing it. INSTALLATION - Each vinyl decal is pre-cut and ready to install with peel and stick backing. Apply decals to clean tile, hardwood floors or ant smooth surface. I also send instructions on how to prep floor, install and maintain the paths. If a school or business is going to wax over top I recommend 2-4 layers of wax over top, I recommend 12-24 hours after application before waxing to allow adhesive time to adhere properly to the floor. *Chantal’s Paths is not responsible for any mishaps in the vinyl (bubbling, wrinkling or folding) or for foot paths that are improperly installed* but please contact me if you have any issues. If you like this listing, please check out more at www.chantalspaths.com If you would like a different word or specific color feel free to message me in advance. ** Some customers in some countries will have to pay Duties and Customs upon delivery**
