Yesterday, I spontaneously came up with the idea to make a tunnel out of our dining table chair by covering it with a cloth. It's such a simple idea, and to think I hadn't thought of it earlier. We had 2 types of tunnel. A small crawl-through tunnel and a walk/drive through tunnel. E did the commando crawl underneath the chair. I think crawling is a good activity. It helps with gross motor development and helps synchronize both parts of the brain, i.e. the left and the right brain. Looking at them reminded me of my girl guiding camping days, when we had to do commando crawling in the mud, under chairs, benches, and through many obstacles. My boys really liked the tunnel activity.
