Obstacle Course

An obstacle is great your climbers. Anthony loved it! It is fun for them and also helps them with learning language by you talking to them while they are moving around it. They hear you talk about going under, over, and around.

He is planning his movements. Making his body move the was he wants. He was climbing over and pulling himself up! He was moving oh so fast.

Here he is giving himself kisses. 

Pulling himself all by himself.

How to do this at your Home

Put pillows and other items on the floor keeping them close together. Have a chair too so your child will go around it or even under it. Watch your child while they are playing and exploring. Decribe your child's actions to him or her. Talk about going over, under, around, or pulling up. Also talk about the objects in the course. You can also play follow the leader and join in. Make it fun by chasing your kiddo. Mirror your child's emotions. When he or her laughs laugh with him or her.
