ATG Tape and Other Tapes for School: Enhance Learning and Creativity With Tape Jungle

Keeping children interested in learning isn't always easy, and teachers will have to think outside the box. Tape can be an unconventional tool teachers can use to develop lessons children will love.

Tape Jungle has many high-quality tape options, such as ATG tape, that can help teachers create a safe and fun learning environment.

Masking Tape: A Versatile Classroom Tool

Masking tape is a great alternative for glue when decorating and organizing a classroom. It generally removes easily and doesn't leave behind residue. Teachers can use this tape almost anywhere — on tables, chairs, walls, and floors — without worry. And it won't dry out and get brittle like other types of tape.

Masking tape is also writable. Teachers can use it to label items around the classroom to assist with reading and vocabulary skills.

Tapes for school to promote learning and creativity with Tape Jungle.

Painter's Tape: Perfect for Classroom Projects

Painter's tape is used by painters to mark off areas so they can avoid getting paint where they do not want it to go. Painter's tape is typically blue and it leaves no residue behind. It is also easy to peel from the roll. It works great on walls — since that is the intended use — and many other surfaces. It doesn't adhere well to carpets, though.

While it is similar to masking tape, it won't soak up any liquids that are spilled on it and it completely protects the surface beneath it.
