Tape rooms

ages 2–5 · 1–3 min setup · 20+ min · No cleanup
Set up

Tape 3–4 rectangles on the floor in different sizes. Each is a "room."

Show your kid (30 sec)

Pick up one toy animal or figurine. Put it inside one rectangle. Look pleased.

What you'll see

Wholesale relocation of toys into the rooms. Naming the rooms ("this is the kitchen, this is the bedroom"). Adding tape lines themselves to make doorways. Animals visiting other animals.

When they want to go again

Add a strip of tape connecting two rooms — a "hallway." Make one room very small and see which animals fit. Tape numbers in each room and "deliver" the right count.
