Phoenyx has been a cranky pants all week. Daddy comes home today from being out of town all week (YAY!) and he is on his wits end with me I think. So today I decided to use all this crepe paper for something fun. Its been on my mind for awhile that I wanted to make a sorta “Spy” obstacle course that the kids could go under and over as if the paper was lasers. Obviously my 2 year old is more likely to tear through it, but I think he did a pretty good job once I showed him how its done!
Create Spy Obstacle (Fake) Laser Course
Charlotte is not home yet to test it out, but here is what we did. For less than $3, we had a good time (and plenty available for new courses later!)
Tape your Crepe paper to the walls from one end to the other, taking care to create a lot of high and lows.
Then let loose~!
For some extra fun, the cats are now running through leaping at the walls now.

My grandson would love this. I’m pretty sure the cat would, too. What a fun idea!! 🙂
What a fun idea for kids. I’ll bet the kids together would giggle and giggle.
How fun! My son just went NUTS over our extra crepe paper from my hubby’s birthday a few weeks ago, so this is right up his alley. Maybe this way he can play with it WITHOUT wrapping it around the dog or his baby brother.
Hah fun!
Did the cats try and play too?
You are so creative it isn’t even funny! My kids would LOVE that at 5 & 7! Thanks for the rainy day idea 😉
This is such a fun way to keep the kids entertained. I can see my kids bringing their toy guns into the mix or using their laser lights.
What a great activity for those hot summer days!
That is an awesome idea! My boys would love this!
Haha. That is too cute! My son is 8 years old, and he even would have a lot of fun with this!
That’s brilliant! I know Levi would love that. I’m going to pin this to use for a birthday party game this summer.
You have the most creative ideas! Love this! My 6 year old would go crazy over this! We may just have to set this up in our living room or hallway somehow.
How fun! This is something my kids would LOVE to do (if we had room somewhere to do it – hallway, maybe? I think our kids would get along famously with one another 🙂
That is such an awesome idea!
I love that this can be thrown together quickly. I can see my boys having hours of imaginative play with this.
That looks like a TON of fun! What a great way to change up the routine.
He did good! I’m not sure that my 4-year-old would be so attentive in navigating the ‘lasers’ – I think she’d tear right through. Ha, we call her Cranky Pants too. It’s good to know I’m not alone 🙂
OH This would be great in our basement. A laser obstacle course that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg and one that I can watch while they use their big motor skills!
I love this idea! I never though of it when my son was younger. 🙁 We did take several appliance boxes once and taped them together with duct tape to make this huge tunnel “playhouse” for our son that filled up our downstairs family room (it’s almost 1,000 square ft). It stayed up for over a month. 🙂
oh that sounds so fun! I should save up those boxes! Did you use a razer blade?
We used a box cutter. We also made 3 cuts/slices and left the top intact, so it was like a flap for windows. We let him decorate the outside and he even made a mail box. I know I didn’t take pictures, but my husband may have. I’ll check with him this evening and see if he has any.
Too cute! I love that he has an apple in his hand in one of the pictures!
Yes he would not put it down!
