O is VERY interested in tape lately. She loves to pull out long strips of tape, cut them with her scissors, and then arrange them on her paper. I thought about buying tape in different colors, but she's so absorbed by the clear tape that I decided not to rock the boat :)
We love tape too, masking tape, putting lines on the floor walking along, driving along. How about putting tape on some card, letting O paint it then peel of the tape (masking tape for this).
I was going to suggest showing O the "resist" technique, but Rainbowmommy beat me to it!
Also, you can have O do a tape collage. I'm sure you have more types of tape at home than you realize if you have a handy husband with a tool box --- clear, masking tape, blue painters tape, electrical tape, silver duct tape, packing tape, etc.
my daughter (29 mos) loves tape too - she calls it "snicky tape" and she asks for it whenever something tears. "oh no, need snicky tape!" hehe
ReplyDeleteMy daughter likes tape, as well as coloring/painting over it to see the different patterns and textures. Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteMy 3-year-old is tape-obsessed! I've never really understood the appeal, but it's interesting to see that other kids are so fascinated with it, too.
