t is for tape machine

29 Nov

i saw this, realized that it would require more precision than i’m good at, so i asked our families if anyone thought they could make one. i had over 10 responses and asked the first three responders to make us one.  i am humbled and grateful (and thinking of more projects).  thank you.

the fine motor work is impressive.  i am reminded of a workshop i went to led by occupational therapists who stressed the importance of working those finger and hand muscles.

p.s.  if any of your children come home and speak of tape over mouths (or arms or hands or feet), the teachers did not do it!!

    I just love looking at your photos. They make me laugh and encourage me to take a few more chances and see what happens. I think you are fearless. I have not been nearly so brave with my pre-k’s.

    Awesome! I love the Playmobile people on the tape. They look like they’re having a blast!
