Tape Floor Obstacle Course
Use colorful tape to create a floor obstacle course with zigzag paths, X marks, and straight lines for kids to follow and jump along. Kids love the challenge of navigating different patterns and the excitement of a homemade movement course.

Use the tape to create a course on the floor: lay straight lines, zigzag paths, X markers, and square shapes across the room.

Show your child how to walk, hop, or jump along each color path and marker.
- 4
Let your child navigate the course on their own, stepping on X marks, following zigzags, and balancing along straight lines.
