They really enjoyed cutting the tape and taping things together.
She taped the roof to her house.
I never even realized how great a fine motor activity taping can be. To pull the tape, cut it and keep it from sticking together takes a lot of eye hand coordination, not to mention actually sticking it onto something the way you want it and to stick more than one thing together requires even more complex movements and steadiness.
Hammering, one child on each end. What a creative way to work together.
One child actually cut all the way through the thick cardboard with our plastic saw!
The girls decided they needed to do a little bit of decorating, so they got out the markers and drew all over the tape. This is one little girl's "grouchy face." I love it!!!
I love the toddler age, but I do look forward to Boogie being able to participate in these kinds of projects. I have never thought of tape as a fine motor activity either! We take so much for granted as grown-ups! Thank you for linking up to WOTT!
