How to Make an Obstacle Course Inside

Indoor obstacle courses are a fun and effective way to keep kids busy on rainy days. Put away all the glass and potentially hazardous items and have some rambunctious fun with your kids indoors. All you need is some furniture, pillows, string, beanbags or whatever else you have lying around the house that you can get creative with.
