Activity of the day

Animal Tape Rescue

A playful and skill-building game that requires a few materials and a whole lot of love for animals.

What you’ll need:

• Tape

• Scissors

• A variety of small toy animals

Step-by-step process:

1. Pick out a bunch of toy animals – the more diverse, the better.

2. Cut strips of tape and gently secure each animal to your surface.

3. Use different tape colors or patterns to add a dash of vibrancy to the rescue scene.

4. Now, it's time for your toddler to step in as the hero, peeling off the tape to save each animal.

Pro Tip

For those energetic toddlers, make it a mini-adventure! Place these taped animals in accessible yet unexpected places – under the coffee table, behind a pillow, or anywhere safe and reachable. It adds an element of surprise and exploration to their rescue mission.

This activity is a playful way to enhance your child's fine motor skills. As they carefully peel away the tape, they're also honing their focus and hand-eye coordination. Plus, it's a great opportunity for you to introduce them to new animal names and fun facts.
