How to try it

Pile two or three sofa cushions on a rug, away from furniture. Hold your toddler's hand while they jump from the floor onto the cushions, or step off a low cushion, and count the jumps. Step back so they can try alone.

Materials

  • Sofa cushions
  • Rug

Safety note

Place cushions on the floor away from furniture, tables and edges. Stay within arm's reach and keep to a low height.
