Backyard Obstacle Course

Cones, hula hoops, and cushions turned into a course to crawl, jump, and balance through.

Steps

1. Gather items from around the house or yard: hula hoops, cushions, cones, a jump rope.
2. Set them up in a line to create stations — jump into a hoop, crawl under a chair, balance on a line.
3. Walk your preschooler through the course once to show how it works.
4. Time them, cheer them on, and rearrange the course for a new challenge each round.

Notes

Let your preschooler help design the course — the planning is half the fun for this age.
