Explore Tape Like Never Before! Innovative Playscape Opens at MADE for Kids in the Delmar Makers District
ST LOUIS (May 30, 2024) – The Magic House, MADE for Kids is hosting TapeScape, an innovative playscape made almost entirely out of packing tape! It will be open for play on Monday, June 3 through Sunday, September 8, 2024 at MADE for Kids located in the Delmar Makers District.
Kids can crawl, climb and slide through this playful, STEAM-inspired exhibit. TapeScape is sure to stick with them as one of the most amazing forts ever built!
With the assistance of volunteers over three days and using almost 15 miles of tape, designer and artist Eric Lennarston harnesses the strength of tape to form unique installations that are strong enough for visitors to climb on and explore. Visitors can watch TapeScape being built May 31 – June 2. Eric has completed TapeScape installations around the world and the exhibit is sure to spark a sense of wonder and thought regarding the unexpected use of tape throughout.
TapeScape is sponsored by Graybar and opens for play at MADE for Kids on June 3. The exhibit is included with regular admission to MADE for Kids, located at 5127 Delmar, Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63108. For more information, visit magichouse.org/tapescape.
