  • Active
  • No prep

You need

  • Sofa cushions or pillows
  • 3 to 5 stuffed animals
  • A timer

The steps

  1. Scatter cushions across the carpet. These are the safe islands.

  2. Sit the stuffed animals on a blanket at the far side: they are stranded and need rescue!

  3. Kids hop island to island without touching the “lava” floor.

  4. Rescue one animal per trip. Beat the 5-minute timer to win!

Keep an eye on

Keep the islands on carpet or a rug, close together, and away from table edges and corners.

To keep it going

Make it harder for older kids: they can only hop on one foot.
