You need
- pillows or cushions (3 or more)
- masking or paper tape
- a laundry basket
Steps
- 1. Your child plans a course: hop the pillows, walk the tape, crawl round the basket.
- 2. Build it together on a rug.
- 3. Your child does the course. Then the grown-up does it!
- 4. Change one part to make it trickier.
⚠ Safety · Stay nearby
On a rug or carpet. Nothing to climb on, no furniture in the course.
Stop if:
- Pillows slide
- The course gets near a table corner
Easier
Three parts only.
Harder
Do it backwards, or with a cup of nothing balanced on a spoon.
Only 5 minutes?
Run the course twice.
Why it matters: Planning a course and then moving through it joins thinking and body control.
Clean-up: Peel up the tape, pillows back on the sofa.
