How to play
Before you start: Stretch masking tape across a doorway in a criss-cross web, sticky side facing the child. Press the small toys onto it at different heights.
Show them the trapped small toys and explain the rescue mission.
Let them pull each one free — the low ones are easy, the high ones need a stretch.
Count the rescued small toys into a basket.
Put them back up yourself and let them go again, higher this time.
Final round: rescue them without touching the tape.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Use masking tape, not packing tape, and test a corner on your paintwork first.
- Do not tape across a doorway someone might run through.
Make it different next time
- Throw soft balls at the web and see which stick.
- Let them build the web and you do the rescuing.
Cleanup: Masking tape peels off paintwork cleanly if you do not leave it up for days.
