Toddler:
Ok your toddler has just learned to walk so they won’t be jumping over  hurdles and swinging on ropes yet but we can spice up the floor to make it a challenge. Get a large pile of pillows (throw in the couch cushions if you want) and let your toddler explore how to get up and over the pile. They may want to get up it and roll down too!

Preschool:
Label pieces of paper 1-5 and mark each “station”. Make five areas for your child to go through. Here are a few ideas but it could be anything as long as they have to go through a whole “course”. Make a start and finish line. You may have to go through it a few times with your child before they understand what to do and in what order.
1. Pillow crawl
2. Tight Rope Line
3. Build a Tower with Blocks
4. Throw a ball into a basket
5. Run around the cones.
FINSH LINE!

Toddler and Preschooler
You will need one long ribbon or a piece of string

Roll out the ribbon (make a show of it). Now show your child how to walk the line like a tight rope walker or a gymnast on a balance beam. This is more difficult than you might guess.
If you have more than one child it is a good game to practice waiting in line and taking turns.

Perfected walking the line? Can you jump? Balance on one foot? Walk the line sideways? Turn? Go on tip toes?
We keep our ribbon on the shelf and the kids like to try unrolling and straightening it by themselves.
