Peeling tape is such a fun and easy activity to set up for babies. You can set this peeling tape activity up at a table, on a highchair or even on the walls, floor or windows! It would be fun to mix it up a little.
Fine motor activities like this get babies and toddlers little hands and fingers working. By the age of one most babies should be able to use the pincer grasp to pick things up, so this is a great activity to work on that skill.
I love using this peeling tape activity with Oliver while he is in the highchair. It is a perfect little activity to do in those few minutes that he is waiting for me to prepare his lunch, wash some dishes or even just grab a cup of tea. It keeps him busy and I love that it is helping him to develop his fine motor skills too. It is amazing the amount of concentation this simple activity takes!

Peeling Tape Baby Activity
STEP 1: Set up peeling tape activity
To set up this baby activity cut strips of coloured tape up and stick them to your chosen surface. We used a highchair but you could use a table, the floor, a window or a wall.
STEP 2: Peel of tape
Invite your baby to peel off the tape. They may need you to show them what to do, but chances are they will start trying to peel off the tape themselves.
Experiment with sticking the tape down in different ways. Put it in straight lines, overlap the tape or even make a picture!
As your baby or toddler peels the tape off just look at the concentration on their face. Oliver (11 months) loves this activity and he uses his pincer grasp well to peel off the tape.
We hope that you have fun trying this peeling tape fine motor activity with your baby or toddler. I love easy baby activities like this that take only minutes (or even seconds) to set up!
