PlayTape for the Imagination

Is it just us, or do you witness a lack of imagination in kids? I think this comes from advancements we’ve made in our society and in toys for children. Not to mention the ever present addiction to electronics.

We’re constantly encouraging the kiddos to use their imagination. Many toys provide a fantastic jumping off point. When we received the PlayTape from Academic Choice to review, the kids immediately thought it was for outdoor use, but quickly adapted to the indoor use of the PlayTape.

Like most families, we’re loaded with enough toys to create a quaint little town lining the roads we created with the PlayTape. Laying down the PlayTape was the highlight for the kids. The durability of the PlayTape made it possible to peel and reposition the roadway until we had the perfect layout using every piece of PlayTape sent to us.

With their imagination, the road PlayTape turned into a runway for the airplanes and helicopters because people “just had to go on vacation!”  Our town residents are taking off in the beautiful sun rays of Florida for an unknown destination to relax and rejuvenate.

The PlayTape is completely unintrusive.  Cleaning up the toys leaving the PlayTape in tact allows for normal activities to resume.  Visitors, especially friends of the children, were immediately drawn to the roadway snaking across our floors of the kitchen and dining room, resulting in collaborative sessions to create the next story for a PlayTape town.  We’ve heard discussion of building New York City skyscrapers.

New products always send us to Amazon to find other products by the same manufacturer.  We were surprised to find PlayTape Classic Rail Series 60ft x 2ft- Brick Trolley/ Railroad Track, PlayTape Off-Road Series, PlayTape Classic Road Series Red Road and PlayTape Classic Blue Road. 

But the best PlayTape item we found is the Classic Road Series 30’x4″ Black Road. We want to try the wide PlayTape building a track outside for our bikes and other riding toys.

We know teachers of younger students will enjoy a PlayTape town in their classrooms, but what about older students? 

Tell us how you would use PlayTape in your classrooms. 

Hint, hint:  PlayTape would be a great gift for teachers!
