Shuwa-shuwa Honey Lemon 350ml – Sharou

Make it with everyday materials! Here are some circuit course ideas using milk cartons.

All you need are milk cartons and tape.

After cutting the cartons, connect them using an accordion fold.

They can be used as lane dividers, and it’s also fun to incorporate them into activities by putting organza fabric or colorful balls inside the cartons.

For children with allergies, using juice or tea cartons instead of milk cartons is a safer option.

Give it a try!

Circuit of/with polypropylene ribbon (Suzuran tape)

Tanabata Circuit! [Ages 0–2] | Minami Senrioka Yui-en [Nursery/Kindergarten Event]

Let’s go through a curtain swaying in the breeze! Here’s an idea for a circuit using ribbon tape (suzuran tape).

All you need is ribbon tape.

Cut the tape into long strips and attach them to make a ribbon-tape curtain! Some children will use their hands to push the strips aside as they move forward, while others will dash through the curtain dynamically—showing their unique personalities.

For cautious children, reduce the amount of tape so they can see what’s beyond the curtain, which will help them feel more at ease.

A circuit for jumping over cardboard boxes

[You can do this at home too ✨] Circuit movement play 🎶 Let’s use things you have at home and move our bodies together!

You can prepare this with materials you have at home or in your classroom! Here’s an idea for a cardboard jumping circuit.

You’ll need cardboard, scissors, a pen, a long floor cushion, and masking tape or vinyl tape.

Draw large illustrations on the cardboard and cut it in half.

Jump over the cut cardboard pieces and make your way to the goal.

With repeated actions like squatting and jumping, your whole body will warm up nicely.

Cardboard kart circuit

[3-year-olds] We made carts and had a race!

Let’s have fun with decorations too! Here are some ideas for a cardboard kart circuit.

What you’ll need: a kart made from cardboard, hats made from construction paper, crayons or colored pencils, coloring pages, double-sided tape, building blocks, and balloons.

Some kids may have played go-kart or racing kart games before, right? Hop into a cardboard kart and race along a course made from blocks! It’s also great to arrange it as a parent-child activity.

Since decorating the cardboard karts is part of the fun, the making process looks exciting too!

Balance Ball Circuit

7 Balance Ball Exercises Parents and Kids Can Do Together

Here are some ideas for a circuit using a balance ball.

All you need to prepare is a balance ball.

Many people may think of it as something adults use for rehabilitation or training, but there are plenty of fun ways to play with a balance ball, so I highly recommend it! Of course, it’s great for practicing balance and strengthening the core, but you can also incorporate activities suited to each child’s stage of development—like crawling under a springy, bouncy balance ball or clinging to it tightly and using their whole body.

A circuit made with pool cues

[Ages 0–5] Seven Types of Indoor Educational and Physical Play! [Nursery School/Kindergarten]

Let’s play while getting creative! Here are some circuit (obstacle course) ideas you can make with pool noodles.

All you need are pool noodles and a utility knife or scissors.

Cut the long pool noodles in half and use them for the course! Place the halved pool noodles on the floor and include a tightrope-walk section where kids crawl or walk along them.

You can also roll balls along the top of the noodles, or connect them into circles to make ring shapes—great ideas to try!

Circuit of the large cube

[Childcare Scene] Let’s Play with the Safety Mirror Cubes – Care for 2-Year-Olds at Chidori Nursery School: Chiba City Authorized Nursery #2yearsold #largeblocks #nursery #shorts

Let’s get moving while we play! Here are some circuit ideas using large blocks.

All you need are large blocks.

Many kids love building houses or making tunnels with big blocks, right? Try adapting these ideas into a circuit course.

A tunnel with clear windows is unique and fun, letting kids pass through with excitement.

Both the children going through the tunnel and those watching will feel the thrill.

Since there’s a chance of bumping faces or falling, be sure to take precautions when using large blocks for physical activities.
