Obstacle Course...gross motor workout ahead

We moved some of the furniture around to create our first obstacle course of the year.
Anna and Charlie are walking in and out of the "lollipops".
The next step was crawling under the table.
Next, climb on and jump off a chair.
Find 3 pieces of buried treasure and put them in the black treasure chest.
Jump over the "bridge" with both feet together.
Jump up and "high five" the parrot.
Walk the plank!
This was so much fun for the kids as they went through the course several times.  We were watching to see who remembered the sequence and what to do at each station as well as which stations might have been a bit difficult for certain children.  When we do another obstacle course we'll have some insights into skills that the children need for gross motor development.
