I finally got some colored tape!
I didn’t even have plans for it, but I felt the need to have it for some fun kid activities!
We got to it right away.
I taped some fun lines on the floor in three different colors.
A blue zig zag line.
A red curvy line.
And one straight line in green.
We ended up with two activities with this one setup with colored tape.
- Walk the line of colored tape.
- Blow pom poms along the coordinating color line.
Fun Kid Activity #1: Walk the Line
One foot in front of each other.
Following the line.
Balancing to stay on your color.
Make it harder by doing it backwards, or even sideways!
[Blue Dog even got a turn 'walking the line'!]
Fun Kid Activity #2: Blow Pom Poms along the Line
Use pom poms in corresponding colors to the tape.
Blow the pom poms down the line with a straw.
[Or you could forgo the straw, but they make it really fun!]
Try your best keeping the pom pom on the line all the way to the end.
Its really harder than you think! Join them!
Have pom pom races!
Ultimately. Laugh. Joining in the fun will make definitely make you laugh. Enjoy!
[George thought it was great fun!]

About Jamie Reimer
Great idea for littleones. I do something similar in the sand at the beach with different spades instead of different colors.
What fun! My 2yo just saw this and said, "Oh, I want to do that!"
LOVE IT! Yes LOVE IT!
That's awesome! Looks like they're having a blast. I LOVE colored tape. I get mine from Discount School Supply. I've used mine for hopscotch, a corral for rocking horses, a framework for indoor bowling, and more…
Your coloured lines go perfectly with the song,"Walking on the Line" by Alleyoop! It's something my buddies and I listen to everyday! I will try to attach a link so you can hear http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002E4RDC8/ref=dm_dp_trk15
Okay, I love the blowing a pom pom idea but all I can picture is spit flying everywhere. Did you find spit to be a problem??? If you say no, I am spreading tape all over tomorrow morning! PLEASE SAY NO!
Jill – No, there wasn’t really a lot of spit. They kept the blowing pretty contained. I just did this again Friday night with a group of kids and they also kept it pretty contained, no spitting!
YEAH! That’s it… I know what we are doing today. Thanks Jaime.
Is there any issue with the tape sticking to the floor long term? We are in a rental and I am terrified to mess up our beautiful floors!
Kerry, if you’re concerned about it, use painters’ tape (I think you can get that in different colors too) — I’ve never had a problem with that. I have had a couple issues in just certain spots with this tape where its taken a little bit of the finish off.
Looks like fun! And, it may help my little guy blow bubbles for swim class better if we try the blowing one!
