I love the blog Playscapes. It delivers all sorts of whimsical play ideas to my inbox from around the world.
Last week, our family got to discover a playscape ourselves.
This fantastic play area at the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota.
It’s made entirely of packing tape! Ten miles of it!
The kids tossed off their shoes and happily bounced, ran, slid, explored and played in it.
If I hadn’t been battling quite so much morning sickness that day, I totally would have joined them.
The TapeScape has its own Facebook page and you can read about its creation here.
What fun!
Now I’m daydreaming about what we could do with some PVC pipes and packing tape in the backyard….. 😉
I am not sure that I’ve seen anything as cool as that. Who knew packing tape was so cool? Now its right up there with bubble wrap. Very, very cool!
That is very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for visiting the and for the great review! I’m glad your kids had a great time playing in it! My kids had a great time helping me build it. They learned a lot watching the forms take shape – and even the whole engineering side of holding it all together.
If anyone out there want to check it out- make sure you visit us before May 14th. After that, the TapeScape will become the worlds largest (or at least Southern Minnesota’s) largest tape ball. Wish it could go on at that location for longer, but the lease for the building is up and it will not fit out the front door!
Oh no! I didn’t think of that. I imagined it would end up in some lucky person’s back yard if there wasn’t room at the new location. I hope there will be a verion 2 someday!
