Create your own obstacle course
Think of activities you can use in the garden that support your child to crawl, run, jump and use all of their body.
The opportunities are endless and any household items you can find to challenge and encourage movement will help to support your child’s physical development (adult supervision required)
If you have a plank of wood, place it on the grass and encourage children to ‘walk the plank’
Balance a potato on a spoon and set up some empty milk cartons for them to weave and out of
Encourage crawling on hands and knees on different surfaces
Use balls and a washing up basket to encourage throwing or kicking
Do jumping jacks on the spot
Make a tunnel from a cardboard box
