Living Room Obstacle Course
Cushions, chairs and tape turn your floor into a course they will run ten times.
Sofa cushions on the floor and a baby determined to get across them.
The simplest possible gross-motor setup for a child who is crawling or newly walking.
Crawling over uneven surfaces builds core strength and teaches a baby to adjust balance in real time, which walking depends on. The toy at the end matters because it gives the effort a purpose.
Stay within arm reach. Keep it away from hard furniture edges and never stack cushions high.
Cushions back on the sofa as a throwing game.
Cushions, chairs and tape turn your floor into a course they will run ten times.
Music on, dance. Music off, freeze. That is the whole game.
Name a colour. They run. You sit down.
You blow. They chase. That is the whole thing and it works every time.
One box, one slot, and a toddler who will not stop posting.
Grass, then paving, then a towel. Shoes off, eyes closed.
