This roll of masking tape has been providing literally hours of fun on and off for the past week.
Immy has raided our ‘useful box’ and made interesting sculptures;
Healed injured friends;
Dressed all manner of ‘people’ in the latest fashion for any occasion;
Created all sorts of random, interesting but beautiful tape arrangements, like this;
And this;
And, fed the multitudes.
Tape is a fantastic medium for children’s learning and development. For more information about the learning potential of tape, visit Deborah at Teach Preschool for a great post all about tape, including links to a number of really interesting tape projects from preschools around the world.

I love masking tape, it is so much easier for kids to use than sticky tape. I love how Immy made a bandage - will show this to my preschooler!
