I would STRONGLY suggest you don't spend a penny on this. I always visited local carpet stores and asked if they would be willing to donate remnants to my classroom. Also, I would put the word out I was looking and often times, someone had something perfect for a reading carpet.

In fact, I have a piece that is brand new and would be perfect, if you want to visit California, it is all yours!

Like a patterned carpet or activity carpet?  You could make one of your own for probably cheaper than $100.  If you get the individual carpets they sell for like $5 a piece, you could get a bunch of different colors, sew them together and have it be a pattern of some sort, like a checkerboard.

You might also check out a carpet outlet.  Not sure what area you live in, but in our area they have Big Bob's "used" carpets, but they also sell cheap off the end of the roll.
