Obstacle Course

You can make this obstacle course in a room in your house, or in the backyard, or in any open space near your house.

What you need:

• 2 empty cereal boxes
• An empty carton large enough to be a “tunnel”
• A large inner tube
•  4 empty clean cans (make sure there are no sharp edges)
• A ‘balance beam’ (one long wooden board placed over two smaller boards, one at each end)

What to do:

Place the items in a circle or along a path so your child can:

1. Step over the cereal boxes
2. Crawl through the carton
3. Walk around the 4 cans (each one with enough space between)
4. Walk across the balance beam
5. And end up walking along the rim of the tube

You can change the configuration at any time for variety.
