We found some off-cuts of wood from the side of the road - the size and shape were perfect as stepping stones or little stools.
This became an inspiration for an obstacle course of sorts. Located by the front gates, it is used frequently and makes great use of a corner in the garden.
Plans are to add a walking plank, some form of tunnel and a climbing wall along with more plants. Obstacle courses are great for developing fitness in a fun way. The trick is to get the right balance between being challenging and achievable. The use of time to measure improvement is a good way to track progress.
The obstacle course can be a great opportunity to extend the movement vocabulary. Learning words such as under, over, beside, inside, outside, around, along, between while doing it is a more meaningful experience.
