About this play
Strips of painter's tape stuck flat to the floor or a highchair tray, with one tiny corner folded up to grab, give your baby a satisfying peeling challenge. Finding the edge and pulling it free builds the pincer grasp and wrist rotation needed for everything from turning pages to using cutlery.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Stick a few short strips of painter's tape to a flat, safe surface.
- Fold up one small corner of each strip so it's easy to grab.
- Let baby find the edge and peel each strip away.
