Eco Obstacle Course

Physical development just got a makeover! With our Mini Obstacle Course Pack, children will work on developing their fine and gross motor skills, strength, balance and coordination, all while having heaps of fun in the process. With wooden H crates, planks, a tunnel and much more, this pack gives a great variety of options for creating interesting obstacle courses which are different every time, allowing children to continually work on their skills. 

Assembled from a variety of wooden and upcycled materials, children have the exciting opportunity to build, construct, remodel and adjust their obstacle courses individually or as part of a team. This course encourages exploration, self-development, and problem-solving, with learners exploring how best to negotiate each obstacle and move their bodies through their set ups. Children will also benefit from the STEM thinking involved in negotiating their set-ups, working out how different items can safely stack on each other and hold their weight. 

Our Mini Obstacle Course Pack is a brilliant addition to your physical development provision, but can also meet various other learning areas. Great as deconstructed role play, or part of your construction area, these resources are truly open-ended allowing for a variety of learning outcomes based on the needs of the child!
