Tape, Rattle, and Roll

It's another scorcher outside, several day in a row of highs in the nineties and eat index of 100+.  I'm running out of ideas of what to do with the kids, even taking them 3 blocks to the library seemed dangerously hot in the van with the AC blasting.

So I whipped out an extra roll of painters tape and got to work.  We have probably a half dozen of them around the house since we bought TWO huge packs when we painted our last house, and...well...I'm not a hug fan of taping things off so we didn't really use it.  Anyway, get yourself a roll of the wide stuff, any color, and find a surface that is somewhat tape resistant.  I chose the kitchen as to not sticky-up our newly refinished hardwood.

Start by creating roads from strips of tape. Rip and stick.  Or just roll the roll until it feels right!  We created quite the network of highways from the trash can to the fridge.  Pulled out a few road signs, emptied the car bin, and we were in business. 

We even used some of the roadways as boundaries for farms, and put the sheep, horse, dog, pig, and cat out to pasture.

It's messy, so I'll say they had fun!
