How to do it

  1. 1

    Gather several rolls of colored tape in different colors.

  2. 2

    Use the tape to create a course on the floor: lay straight lines, zigzag paths, X markers, and square shapes across the room.

  3. 3

    Show your child how to walk, hop, or jump along each color path and marker.

  4. 4

    Let your child navigate the course on their own, stepping on X marks, following zigzags, and balancing along straight lines.

Tips & extensions

Use different colors for different types of movements. For example, jump on X marks, tiptoe on zigzags, and run along straight lines — to add extra challenge and variety.
