[0-Year-Olds] Fun Indoor Play Ideas Using Raffia Tape (11–20)
Bagworm made with raffia tape (suzuran tape)
Why not try expressing the autumn motif of a “bagworm” using plastic raffia (Suzuran tape)? First, as prep, cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of a bagworm.
Apply small pieces of double-sided tape all over the body area.
Next, stick cut pieces of Suzuran tape onto the taped sections.
Using a variety of colors will make it look beautiful.
With infants (around 0-year-olds), tear the Suzuran tape together—they’ll enjoy the texture, so take your time.
Wrap jute twine around the head area to make it look like a hat.
Finally, draw the face, and it’s complete.
The vibrant bagworm is perfect for decorating and enjoying.
Playing with plastic raffia (Suzuran tape)

Let’s adapt the ways we play to suit children’s development! Here are some ideas for playing with suzuran tape.
Suzuran tape is a thin plastic tape known for its colorful appearance.
Because the material is light and flexible, you can cut it with scissors, tie it, or weave it, allowing for all kinds of creative variations and uses in different games.
This time, let’s try making a suzuran tape curtain, a suzuran tape “bath,” and suzuran tape pom-poms.
It sounds like these activities will spark excitement and fun.
Circuit of/with polypropylene ribbon (Suzuran tape)

Let’s go through a curtain swaying in the breeze! Here’s an idea for a circuit using ribbon tape (suzuran tape).
All you need is ribbon tape.
Cut the tape into long strips and attach them to make a ribbon-tape curtain! Some children will use their hands to push the strips aside as they move forward, while others will dash through the curtain dynamically—showing their unique personalities.
For cautious children, reduce the amount of tape so they can see what’s beyond the curtain, which will help them feel more at ease.
In conclusion
We introduced play ideas using plastic raffia (suzuran tape) recommended for infants under one year old.
Babies at this age grow by taking in so much through seeing, hearing, and touching.
Because there are large individual differences in development depending on the month age, it’s important to engage with each child in ways that help them take an interest in various things through play and feel the joy of it.
We hope you enjoy a fun time together with the adorable children.
