How many people do you know that have old tires and stumps hidden in their hedgerow?
My friend had us over for a picnic this summer and offered to set up an obstacle course for the kiddos. She ran into her side bushes and returned with large tree stumps, old tires and some plastic construction cones! Out came a ball and instantly the kids were having fun!
I have to admit the thought of having some tree stumps around has gone across my mind, but it wasn’t until this day that I realized just how convenient it would be!
Doesn’t it look like fun? Let alone all the coordination, body awareness and concentration going on in this outdoor play!
What things do you have on the ready to keep your kids and/or company occupied and having fun?
I love this, such a great way to develop gross motor skills too! I hope you link this up to Tot School Tuesday: http://seevanessacraft.com/2012/10/tot-school-tuesday-farm-animal-finger-puppets/
