We made an obstacle course today. This occupied the boys for hours!
We used random items we found around the house:
small chair
yoga blocks
bucket
stool
floor mat
hula hoop and twine to tie it up
sit and spin
circle shapes
an edge to a rubber mat (straight line)
They started by running circles around the chair and then the bucket. Balance on the yoga blocks and then up and over the stool. Mats were set up on the other side so they could jump off. Jump through the hula hoop. Spin on the sit and spin. Step on each circle and then balance on the straight line. Jump off the end of the line over the edge of the hallway and you're done!
This was great. They want to do another one tomorrow! You can could use anything. Anything you can step on, climb on, crawl under, jump over, run around, balance on. I was thinking couch cushions would be great....maybe we'll use those today. This is fun and great exercise. Great for winter days when it's too cold to play outside!
