Mum keeps her four-year-old entertained during coronavirus lockdown by using string to create a Spider-man obstacle course
- Claire Louise Nelson-Syme made her living room into a ‘web’ using string
- Her four-year-old dressed as Spider-man and weaved through the ‘web’
- When he finished he turned around to complete it in the other direction
A mum found an ingenious way to keep her four-year-old entertained during lockdown by creating a Spider-man ‘web’ obstacle course.
Claire Louise Nelson-Syme shared the video on Facebook of her living room with string crossing from one side of her living room to the other to create the ‘web’.
Her son dresses as Spider-man and weaves around the string with the aim of getting to the other side of the living room without getting tangled.
The boy dresses as Spider-man and prepares to do the string ‘web’ obstacle course in his living room
The four-year-old begins the challenge by getting on his knees and ducking his head under the string. He slides on his knees and makes his way to the other side of his living room
He stands on the far side of the living room and says ‘Here’s my Spider-man challenge’.
Their cat then wanders underneath the obstacle course as Claire says the cat has ‘beaten you’. The dog sits watching on a seat behind the boy.
The four-year-old steps over the first obstacle before sliding on his stomach underneath the next few pieces of string.
He pauses on his knees before ducking under one piece of string and climbing over another
After completing the obstacle course once he turns around and makes his way back to complete it for a second time. He reaches the other side with one final step over the string
He pauses on his knees before ducking under a high piece of string and climbing over the lower piece to weave through.
He gets to his feet to climb again before crawling under the final few pieces. He takes a step over the final obstacle to meet his mum on the other side.
Claire says well done and then the four-year-old turns around to complete the obstacle course in the opposite direction.
People have been kept entertained by other challenges during the coronavirus lockdown, including toilet roll kick-ups which many celebrities have taken part in.
