UH, ok book, but...

2007-10-08
Good things: Keeps them busy. Bad things: four year old needs scissors to cut tape and how do you expalin that it is only this tape that is allowed and only in this book... My son ruined one of my other books because he thought tape was ok for any book.

Keeps him busy

We buy gifts for our kids to open on airplane trips or, if we're fortunate enough to go away for a couple days, one per day while we're gone. Last June, while we were away for our 20th anniversary, we gave this one to our little boy, who had just turned four. According to the awesome babysitters, he enjoyed it at the time, and it has come out periodically over the year since for him to discover all over again. If you have a little one who loves tape like he does, this is a great buy. Yes, he may need help ripping it if too young for scissors, but still - our little guy could be creative and productive and most of all, distracted. With imaginative, busy boys, that is worth any amount of money.

tape difficult to rip

This book is a great idea but my daughter kept asking me to rip the tape. Now she uses scizzors to cut it.

Pretty Cute

I love this book but my 3 year old is only marginally interested in it. He has a difficult time ripping the tape and just doesn't want to place the tape on the pages despite his love for regular tape.

This is a great tool to keep preschoolers occupied. Actually cutting and taping the book was lots of fun for my granddaughter. I had fun too! The book encourages imagination and not just following directions. This is now our favorite thing to do when she comes over.

Great for your creative child

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas, and it was a hit. She can play with it anywhere in the house. It has everything she needs to create with tape. No mess!!

A little hard for my 4 year old, but fun

This is a really great idea with one main problem, the tape does not rip off easily for a 4 year old. I have no problem doing it, but it is really hard for him. I have to end up tearing the tape off for him.

Perfect for a preschool tape fanatic!

My almost 5 year old uses tape by the roll on just about everything so when I saw this book, I thought it would be perfect for him. He had a hard time tearing the tape initially but once he got the hang of it, he has had a great time taping the book. It seems like there is plenty of tape for the book and probably beyond - we've done this several times and there is still plenty of tape. I bought this as an activity for him to do on his own but so far, I have had to be there to supervise, as he gets frustrated when the tape won't tear or gets tangled up. In general, I think this was a worthwhile purchase.

Super interesting for my girls, ages 7 and 4

This book kept both of my girls, ages 7 and 4, completely occupied during a long football game and for the next day. It is really fun. They had to use scissors but didn't mind at all. I would highly recommend this activity book!
