When you're a kid, you can make almost anything out of tape. This is for two reasons:
1. It's sticky and bendy, and
2. Grownups let you have it because it is not scissors.
Once you get past the annoying stage when you keep getting it stuck to itself, tape becomes a source of joy.
Plus, there are all those colored tapes you can get at craft stores.
Yesterday I was hanging out drawing with some kids, and two of them decided to put facial hair on, made from paper. They drew themselves beards and mustaches, then taped them to their faces. Then they would "shave," making a bzzzzzzt noise while pulling the beards off. Then they would make a longer beard or whatever, and do it again.
See? Tape. What a great thing.
