Pom Pom Obstacle Course

I'd seen some fun ideas floating around the internet about creating a fun tube obstacle course for you toddler to play with.  I kept the idea in the back of my mind and started saving all toilet paper and paper towel rolls for months.  I envisioned a pom pom obstacle course, made plans in my head and it came together perfectly.  I picked up three bags of pom poms at the Dollar Tree and used tape I already had so this project cost me a little over $3.

You'll need:

a large variety of toilet paper/paper towel/wrapping paper tubes

masking tape and duct tape

3 bags of pom poms in a bowl

scissors

I started this project at nap time and realized it wasn't going to be done in time.  No problem.  I just recruited Olive to help me and by help me I mean play with all of the supplies.  She walked into the kitchen, her eyes lit up and she shouted "What's this?!?!"

 A few tips:

It's possible to do this with your kids helping you.  If they are older they could definitely help with the designing of the course.

It's easier to attach the tubes if you put the tape on the tube first.

Use cute duct tape to secure the masking tape.

Be prepared to have pom poms all over the floor - I figure I'd much rather step on a pom pom than on a lego or something shart :)

An unexpected bonus: 

the cats love the pom poms so this activity is fun for your child AND your cats :)

 We have left this up for a few weeks and it's still just as fun as it was in the beginning.  Part of the fun is throwing handfuls of pom poms in the air and I'm okay with that.  I pick up pom poms twice a day - at nap time and at bed time and don't worry about them during the day.  Works for us.
