Today I came across an unexpected find. A local grocery store had ordered the wrong size of till tape, so they were throwing it away. I scored a box of 50 rolls! Immediately, I thought about using it for number lines, comic strips, and flip books. But, I have 50 rolls. What else shall I use it for?
After a Pinterest search, I came up with these ideas:
Breaking apart numbers. You could use the till tape for one portion, and construction paper for the other.
This is a crafty one! It would look lovely on the front of a poetry book or Mother’s Day card.
Have you seen all those large quote of the day boards? This might be cute for a mini version!
Art journals or bookmarks.
This run on sentences activity looks like a ton of fun!
Teaching space? The pin uses toilet paper, but receipt tape would be the same.
Even the centers have a use! Great for a clay unit in the art room.
I also found this blog post…. no pictures though. They suggest using it for timelines (duh!). I can’t believe I didn’t think about that. Adding to my explorers unit for sure! They also suggest making roads for cars – cute!
Have another idea that isn’t listed? Leave it in the comments. I’ll be using this stuff for a while!
