Sometimes

.... all it takes is a bit of masking tape to make the day of two little boys. Sunday I threw caution to the wind and let them loose with the tape. They asked for a zigzag line on the floor (always a favourite!) and then the rest was up to them.

 

 

I was expecting a tape chaostrophy, what usually happens. Tape everywhere including each other which always ends badly. This time, however, it resulted in a pretty complex maze of sorts. It looked like Mission Impossible in the house. Every time you wanted to go somewhere you had to either climb under and over or both to get to the next room. It was great fun for two little gnomes to watch Mom and Dad contorting to get around.

 

Ah, the things we do for our kids! It was all good fun though and it kept them busy almost the whole afternoon. It terrified the cat, but you can’t please everyone I suppose! So here is to living life on the edge and letting the six and three year old loose in the house with a full roll of masking tape! Yup, we’re crazy like that.

So much fun!! We have done this before and I think it is time to do it again.

This could be our house!  A favorite rainy day activity for my boys - being let loose with a role of masking tape.  And they do exactly the same thing, create elaborate and difficult spider-webs that they then try to traverse without getting stuck.  :)

I love it!

Love it!  I'm always amazed on how well they play with the simplest things. . .

I see no crazy there! I see genius!

This is FANTASTIC!  We too have "wasted" rolls of tape all in the name of fun.  Amazing what cool stuff can be made, and fixed, and kept together with tape!
