Obstacle Course


My kids were all crafted out and they didn't want to read books. All other suggestions to cure boredom were booed at until I said "Do you want to take the couch cushions off an jump on them?". Then there was a resounding YES!!! So we got a little creative and made it into an obstacle course! Ours was simple and consisted of a tunnel made from a laundry basket and a storage container. Next was the wiggly wobbly skate board, then onto the bouncy exercise ball! To top it of they had to climb a tower of couch cushions! The kids were happy and entertained and nobody even suggested to watch TV!
Obstacle courses can also be created outside with hula hoops, bikes, cardboard tunnels, and anything else you can conjure up! Its certain to be a great time that will keep their bodies busy, happy, and healthy! Have fun making your own and email your ideas to busybodiesblog@gmail.com and I may post some for you to see!
