[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree about the bamboo and dog, but unless it was a fancy rope, I don’t see the issue. I am extremely cautious and it would never occur to me that we couldn’t use some rope. That seems ridiculous, unless it was clearly a fancy rope. [/quote]

Twine is for cutting. A rope is not. [/quote]

Yeah, it was a brand-new rope in our garage that was pretty obviously not for cutting up; simply using it without destroying it would've been more understandable. (And my husband was like, she didn't even burn the ends, so now it's going to fray and not hold his structure together! I personally am glad they didn't add fire to all this.) We do have twine and string, and we don't know why they didn't use either of those.[/quote]

Because a toddler doesn’t have the dexterity for twine or string, but rope is thick enough for a toddler to “help” with building.[/quote]

Sorry, missed that he’s 4.

String isn’t going to be thick enough to tempt most preschool kids, and it takes longer to tie large items, if you expect it to hold for a reasonable amount of time or be sturdy.  With a 4 yo, I’d have probably grabbed the twine if it was next to the rope, but if the rope was more visible, I guarantee I wouldn’t have gone looking for twine.[/quote]
