1

Look for pillows from all the rooms. Go through the whole apartment and see what you can find on pillows.

2

Now you put the pillows on the floor.
Then jump, run and jump from one pillow to the other. Do not touch the ground.

3

Now try to put a circle. Does that work? With us this has become an egg, because we do not have so much space for the amount of pillows available.
Then walk, jump and jump from pillow to pillow again.

4

Pick a pillow, throw it in the air and pick it up again.
Tip: Older children can also throw the pillow on the wall and catch it again.

5

Now put a pillow on the head and try to run slowly. Which cushion holds best on the head? A bulging or a small cushion, a soft or rather a firmer cushion?

6

Throw down the pillows and try to catch them. Try to throw the pillows in such a way that the pillows meet in the middle.

7

Run like a dog (in a quadruped stand) and transport a pillow on the back. The pillow should not fall from the back.

8

Now build a tower with the pillows. That's a pretty shaky thing, maybe one holds the tower while the other stacks the pillows?

9

Now put the pillows to a mountain and jump in. You can also roll over the mountain, make a purple tree or even a flying roll.

10

Try to build a cave now and hide in it.
You can also build a course, climb up and over the cushions.

11

Then sit on a pillow and let yourself be pushed through the room. Perhaps you sing 'Chush Chu Chu the Railway'.

12

Mark a start and finish line. Now sit on a pillow and bet. Who's at the finish first?

13

Clamps a pillow between the legs and jumps a small distance. Who can do this without losing the pillow?

14

Now balance a pillow on the outstretched arm.

15

Pick out a pillow and stand on it. Now you lift a leg and try to stand on one leg as long as possible.

16

Put a pillow on the sofa, clench your hands to fists and punch in as fast and as long as possible. Attention: the thumb should not be between your fingers but lie outside (see photo!). So you can't hurt yourself!

17

Now a pillow fight must not be missing. For this, everyone gets the same number of pillows first and then it starts.

18

A child may then lie down on the floor and be covered with pillows.
If the child is covered, then count to three. At three, the child jumps out of the pillows.

19

How about covering an object? For example, the laundry basket, a box or a small chair?

20

Finally, put up a laundry basket and throw in all the pillows.
Try to throw in at a distance of 1-2 meters. If all the pillows are in the laundry basket, then bring them back to where you collected them at the beginning.

21

But you can also continue playing with the pillows.
The pillows are very stimulating to play.
Construction site was then played and the excavator and other vehicles were used.

Have fun!
