Find some ideas how to organize the best obstacle courses for kids that will keep them occupied for hours!
Lately, my kids love a more challenging play time. They have been asking me to set up and prepare obstacle course.

I think obstacle courses are great for kids. They encourage thinking and problem solving. Also most of the obstacle courses require lots of physical movement which is so hard to achieve these days.
I've searched and re-searched for obstacle courses for kids that require low prep, but bring most fun for kids!
