Description
After Junior's holiday adventure, try wrapping one small box using only two pieces of tape. Test whether turning the paper makes the job easier.
What to prep
- Small empty box
- Scrap wrapping paper
- Two pieces of removable tape per turn
Cost: FreeBest time: AnytimeCreates something to keep
Play guide
- 1Put a small empty box and a sheet of scrap paper on the table. Each guess whether the sheet will cover all sides.
- 2One person wraps it using only two pieces of removable tape. Turn the box or paper and retry if there is a gap.
- 3Unwrap and swap wrappers. Try a smaller sheet or a different box, keeping the two-tape challenge.
Success signals
The child changes orientation and folds to fit a real three-dimensional object.
If it's tricky
Two pieces are frustrating: use as much tape as needed first, then reduce it on another turn.
