Help your pre-schooler understand position and direction through active, whole-body play.

Obstacle Course helps children make sense of positional language by physically moving through it. Using chairs, cushions, boxes, blankets or other safe household items, your child can crawl under, move around, go through, stand behind or stop next to different objects. Following and giving instructions helps words such as over, under, behind and next to become much more meaningful.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Keep the course simple at first, then add more steps, combine instructions or swap roles so your child can design a course and direct you through it.
