Tape is a similar material to stickers although tape can more versatile in its uses. At this age tape is still used much like a sticker but soon the children will begin to use tape more as a tool . It is important that they gain the small motor skills to control the tape so they can then use it to construct and "fix". I presented the tape so that it was easy to use and attractive, hoping to entice them to explore the material. Interestingly, Theo chose a drum to place his pieces of tape, this is the beginning of using tape as a tool. It did change the sound the drum made and the next time I brought the tape out Sebastien found a drum and began to emulate Theo's creation. Tape also requires more precision when trying to get it laid flat on the paper. Both Caleb and Kaia used their thumbs to smooth out the tape. The rolls of tape grabbed Bryce's attention and he worked hard pulling and trying to get the tape off.
