Masking tape is the most-used material on OTPlan. Kids peel, tear, and stick it to make roads, targets, and lines to follow, which builds bilateral hand use, fine motor control, and eye-hand coordination. It is inexpensive and usually peels off tables and floors easily, so you can set up a game in seconds.
