Built this from stuff we had laying around - hula hoops, pool noodles taped to chairs as a limbo bar, cones, a jump rope course. My kids did it for like an hour straight on a random Tuesday afternoon when they were going insane inside. Took me maybe 20 minutes to set up. Now they want me to make a 'harder version' but tbh it's already pretty complex for a 5 and 7 year old.
this is gold. my kids did similar and i was shocked they stayed engaged that long. the hula hoop limbo especially. gonna steal this for next weekend, thanks for the inspo
an hour straight? dude that's a huge win. usually my kids lose interest after 10 mins. the homemade factor might actually be it - they feel like they helped conceptualize it somehow. or they just liked your version better than store-bought stuff
did you do multiple rounds or different variations each time? i'm thinking about doing similar but wondering if the novelty wears off quickly with the same course
