About this play
A straight or zigzag line of painter's tape stuck across the floor, with sticky notes marking a few stops along the way, turns an empty room into a balance course. Walking, squatting to peel a note, and moving on again builds balance, body control, and spatial awareness.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Stick a straight or zigzag line of painter's tape across the floor.
- Place a few sticky notes at points along the line.
- Encourage your toddler to walk the line, squatting to collect each note.
