7 Ways To Use Tape To Entertain Toddlers Indoors

7 Ways To Use Tape To Entertain Toddlers Indoors

Even the best of parents sometimes simply run out of ways to entertain their toddlers. I mean, they have so much energy but so little patience. The internet is full of ideas but so many of them involve a lot of preparation.

So here are 7 ideas that require very little forward planning. The next time you're at the hardware store, buy a giant roll of painters tape (the stuff that's designed to come off) and stick it in your kitchen draw. 

Then you're always ready.

 

1. The Spiderweb Game

Throw crumpled up newspaper "flies" at the web and see how many get through (hint: it's usually none).

 

2. Racing Tracks

Make road tracks from tape all around the house (literally - on the walls, chairs, everything)

 

3. Hopscotch

Yep. No chalk needed.

 

4. Bullseye

The hardest part is making circles with the tape.

 

5. Pom Pom Race

Have them try to blow small pom poms acong the tape with a straw. You can even use the race tracks from number two.

 

6. Obstacle Course

Your imagination is the only limit.

 

7. The Great Heist

Make a "laser" maze for the kids to get through. I like the tape because it sticks to them so the judges decision is final.

 

Oh and as a bonus game, don't underestimate how much fun the kids will have peeling the tape OFF!

Size Guide & Guarantee

 

Based on averages, we believe that a "Size 2" should actually fit your child from when they are two to when they are three.  However, we do appreciate that not all children are built the same and so in the spirit of helping you make an informed choice, have included our manufacturing size guide below.

Having said that, we also appreciate that buying clothes online can be difficult and even if you measure your kids according to the chart, sometimes things just don't fit right.

 

Therefore, we offer all our customers, the right to return items from their first order in order to exchange them for different sizes at no charge. Simply contact us and we will be more than happy to help you out.

Wellies Size Guide:

In order to ensure correct size for your feet, we have measured the internal length of each insole of each Wellington boot as shown in the table below. Please measure one of your insoles that currently fit your foot length, and match it to our measurement, to find your correct size. We have found that this is the most efficient way, as shoe sizes and measurements vary between manufacturers.

AU Size EU Size Insole Measurement cm
1 19 12.5 cm
2 20 13.5 cm
3 21 14 cm
4 22 14.5 cm
