About this play
Criss-crossing strips of painter's tape across a doorway or hallway at knee height creates a low-stakes obstacle: a 'laser web' to crawl under, step over, and throw soft crumpled paper balls at to watch them stick. It's a playful, whole-body workout in problem-solving and movement planning.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Criss-cross a few strips of painter's tape across a doorway at knee height.
- Show your toddler how to crawl under or step over each strip.
- Hand them soft paper balls to throw and watch them stick to the tape.
