Royal Play: DIY masking tape Hopscotch.




Rainy days, what to do in the skinniest house in London? why hopscotch of course, and yes I was getting a little desperate. All you need is one floor: comes standard with most properties, one roll of masking tape: doesn't everyone have a roll stashed somewhere? and a throwing object, something soft preferable. Place the tape on the floor like so and that is it, plus it kept the babies entertained for absolutely ages. 3 weeks it was down in fact, slightly lazy and a little bit manky on my part, it then took 2 further weeks for my little lady to notice it had gone, at which she cried. Seriously, 2 weeks.

Disclaimer: As I used masking tape, it was low tack and did not cause any damage to the floor. We have real wood flooring, I am not sure if it would be any different on other materials.

Note to self: Next time DO NOT pick the narrowest part of the kitchen for this,  go crazy do it in another room.
