We all know that kids these days love YouTube. Little ones as young as a year old are able to press buttons on a phone or tablet and make Baby Shark play. They even know how to swipe away your notifications and phone calls (Thanks kids! That wasn’t an important phone call anyway… I hope.).

My six year old came to me not too long ago wanting to do some hacks she saw on YouTube. “Mom! We can make a ninja course with things we have here in the house!” “Uh, what?” “Yeah mom! We can make this laser course in the hall!” We don’t really have much of a hallway. The one little one we do have, is right where the stairs to go downstairs and the bathroom is. In a house full of 8 people, I didn’t really want to go and make an obstacle course there. She looked so happy and curious though. “Okay kiddo, let’s do it”.

She went and gathered up her materials, the tape, the streamers and her little brother. I helped her cut up the tape and she put the streamers up.

By the way, it was only messed up once when Pop-Pop came upstairs to get something out of his room. He had to make it through the obstacle course, which Miss 6 thought was hilarious.
