Add some drive to your classroom projects with road and track “play tape!”

Staff

Here’s a fantastic product that can really feed your creativity in the classroom. Companies like Inroad Toys produce “play tape” with roads and railroad tracks printed on them. They are repositionable and leave no residue, so they can be placed on walls, tables, and floors as decorations or for playtime without leaving permanent damage. They can even add some nice detail to bulletin boards!

Here are a list of “play tape” products featuring roads and railroad tracks and links to purchase them:

Inroad Toys “Classic Road Series” Road Tape
This easy-to-use tape features a two-lane road and is repositionable. It leaves behind no residue and runs 30 feet long. It runs about $13.

Civil Engineer Tape

Unlike the InRoad Toys Products, this Civil Engineer Tape is made for professional applications, and it isn’t repositionable. It’s more like postal tape, so it will leave behind residue and may damage walls. It is not wide enough for Hot Wheels to fit in each lane, but in the right situations, it could be useful. It runs about $8 a roll.
Roommates “Build-A-Road” Peel and Stick Wall Decals
These repositionable wall decals aren’t quite the same as the “road tape” products, but they serve the same purpose. 30 decals come in each set and it runs about $11.
