How It Sticks and Comes Off
PlayTape uses a low-tack adhesive similar to painter's tape. It sticks firmly to flat, horizontal surfaces like floors, tables, and some carpets. When playtime ends, the tape peels up without leaving sticky residue or damaging paint. Keep in mind that the adhesive grip increases over time, so test on a small area first if you're concerned about delicate surfaces.
Is PlayTape Safe for Kids and Surfaces?
Yes. The tape is paper-based, so no scissors are needed—kids can tear it by hand. It's also 100% latex-free and meets U.S. toy safety standards. Each roll is lot-coded for traceability. PlayTape has been tested on over 25 different surfaces and is designed to be safe for floors, walls, and furniture when used as directed. Because it's paper, both the tape and its cardboard core are recyclable.
Can You Reposition the Tape Once It's Down?
Yes. PlayTape is easy to lift and reposition if you want to change the layout. You can add curves, connect multiple strips, or tear off short pieces for jumps and obstacles. Its flexibility makes it simple for young children to build and rebuild tracks on their own.

- Can I use PlayTape on carpet? It sticks to some carpets, but results vary. Test on an inconspicuous area first, and avoid pressing too hard.
