Need an activity your kids will love and might just keep them busy for all of 32 minutes? This is for you. Â We made this yarn obstacle course for my kids to play in last summer, and I set up another one today so that they could at least have a few minutes of peace. (Entertainment seems to run short around here!)
I found this idea on Pinterest last summer, and when my kiddos saw this Yarn Obstacle Game you can bet they were all over it.  My son designed the “course” (which kept him busy for half an hour. . .) and all three of them have spent a few hours playing in it . . . yayyyyy!  (Who needs a clever craft when you can have cheap entertainment in the summertime, right?)
To make the course, all we used was regular yarn we had on hand and painter's tape to protect the walls.  As I'm typing, my six year old just hollered: “Momma, I can't get out of the lasers!”  Yup . . . summer life is good. 🙂Â
