Use Dollar Tree foam mats, cones, or soft toys to create a safe mini obstacle course. Encourage crawling over mats, weaving between cones, or climbing gentle pillows.

Obstacle courses improve gross motor skills, balance, and coordination while giving toddlers a fun and engaging way to expend energy indoors.
