Fun, Easy, and Frugal Play Idea: Masking Tape Roads

 
My kids thought I was pretty great when I pulled out the masking tape and began creating roads that led to all their Little Peoples play sets.  We rummaged up all the cars we could find, made road lines on the tape, and created a little town.
 
 
I'm telling you, they played for HOURS!  Even better, their creative juices were flowing full force.  My basic infrastructure was not sophisticated enough, so they made more roads, added a CVS and Walgreens store out of paper, and drew up a "Welcome to" town sign (of course, after I put the camera away)!  Even some of the older kids thought it was fun enough to join in.
 
 
So go grab that old roll of masking tape that you threw out in the garage after your last move, or pick one up the next time you go to the store, and let the kids have at it! 

And for you moms who struggle to get dinner going while you've got a toddler strapped to your leg, this should do the trick! ; )

  4. Entertaining, simple, and inexpensive activities are always such a great way to add some fun into the life and do not burn a hole in the pocket. Indeed, for both students working on considerable research projects, the use of dissertation literature review writing service guarantees comprehensiveness and organization. This support requires more time: to structure, to solve problems, but it also saves time by providing tangible support that lets more time be spent on creative thinking.
