Sticky tape attachment - inclusive play idea
 

The craft Elephant showers has been updated and now also includes a play idea using upturned electrical sticky tape.



It's a nice activity suited to focus, themed and open play & is easily adapted to follow children's interests and loose media expression.

If possible, position as a 'drive by or drop in type activity where it'll be easily accessible and engages the widest number of participants.

Suggested ideas ..

Trains - lay tape in a track format and include associated loose media: signs, wheels, pictures/imagery, small world conductors, drivers, train tickets, time tables.
Cars - use tape as the beams of a headlight, road markings
Plants - build green tape into a stem & stalk design - provide places where leaves, seeds, seed packets, grass, petals, sepals, bits of string, ties, labels, tags can be collected for attatchment to the tape.
Emotions - add paper, mark making tools and scissors for facial expression and sticking.
Colours: build a rainbow using segmented colours and linked media.
Seasons: 4 strips of tape in different seasonal colours can focus on the years events or larger activities as a season at a time is explored.
Opposites: look for opposites that help the collection of collage items - big & small, tall and short, loud & quiet, wet & dry might be interesting
Festivals - will provide excellent focussed opportunities to stick smaller items onto displayed tape.

Please add on with ways you've enjoyed sticking tape ..

That looks like great fun. Thank you for sharing Ruth :smile:
