As a mom of many, I’ve always taken the position that playtime should also be a time of learning. Games and activities that spark imagination and creativity always top my gift giving shopping list. Now don’t get me wrong, I believe playtime needs to be fun time too; but there is no reason not to use that time to stretch those brain muscles too. TinyTown PlayTape sets are keeping my little guy busy for hours. He is building towns and learning about measuring, angles, road signs, and different types of vehicles.
InRoad Toys
Today, PlayTape is revolutionizing how we play with toy vehicles. With PlayTape, turn your imagination into reality! Instantly roll out your road or train track anytime, anywhere. The possibilities are as endless as a desert highway.
What are TinyTown sets and PlayTape?
TinyTown roads and curves are just 1” wide, so you can create an entire city on a tabletop. TinyTown vehicles are approximately 1.5” long, about half the size of a Hot Wheels car. Each TinyTown vehicle is custom designed with aggressive posture, edgy styling, and unique features (like massive exhausts) you won’t find on any other toy vehicles.
You can fit an entire Tiny Town – and hours of fun – in your pocket or purse. No other toy vehicle set gives you such play value in such a compact form. The perfect travel toy. TinyTown roads are scaled to work with other tiny vehicles you may already have. Got tiny characters too? Have them live in TinyTown!
InRoad Toys PlayTape line of products is ranked as the top selling toy road and has been awarded over 30 industry awards for innovation, creative fun, and educational value.
TinyTown PlayTape packs include:
TinyTown Square
Set up your town square with this set of TinyTow items. The set has two rolls of tape (one roll of road tape and one roll of curve tape), five vehicles, two orange construction cones, and 7 road signs (two red light signs, a stop sign, a crosswalk sign, a caution sign, a sharp curve ahead sign, and a Welcome to TinyTown sign).
TinyTown Construction Zone
This set contains everything needed to set up your own construction zone. It includes two rolls of tape (one road tape and one curve tape) along with a dump truck (that actually dumps!), a steam roller (that really rolls and swivels!), two orange construction cones, two lane barriers (one in orange and one in white), and two construction road signs (one small man working sign and one larger Caution Construction sign).
TinyTown Cars & Roads
This set includes three road signs, one roll of road tape, and one tuner car.
TinyTown Cars, Roads, & Curves
This set includes two rolls of tape (one road tape and one road curve tape), four road signs and a 4×4 truck.
My Thoughts:
What little boy doesn’t love to play with cars and dream of driving them fast? All my guys had tubs of cars and accessories to play with as they grew up. But, we didn’t have this awesome PlayTape back then. I am in love with it!
Each TinyTown set also comes with at least one roll of PlayTape which is a paper-based tape road, so it is easy to unroll and tear to the exact length needed. It is tacky on one side and will stick on any flat clean surface. It’s also easy to lift off and replace as needed. PlayTape doesn’t leave any sticky residue and it can’t harm your floors, furniture, or walls. I laughed when I read “walls” on the safe places to use the PlayTape, but sure enough my little guy built a ramp and ran his cars up the wall in a sharp curve before heading into a long straightaway just like the real race tracks!
Playing with these sets has sparked more than a few conversations about vehicles and road design, so much so that my five year old now points out signs and can name the make and model of vehicles that match his set.
I appreciate that each set from TinyTown includes what is needed to create a town. Sets include super cool and unique vehicles that your little one will want to drive on the tiny tape roads and curves. Various road signs and accessories are also included in the set, which make it nice to not have to add additional pieces to complete the set.
One Note or Concern
I would like to point out that these sets do include small pieces and caution should be used around babies and toddlers that will certainly want to play along. Also consider a little box or bag to store the set when not in use as the packaging does not allow for storage. We placed our sets in little zip bags just to keep everything together.
So, if you are looking for a great “tiny” set of toys that spark imagination and creativity, make sure consider these TinyTown PlayTape sets. You can find them in the toy department at your local Target store.
