ABSTRACT:
A play apparatus for use by children is provided having a base which includes horizontal spaced apart obstacles, legs for supporting the base on a generally flat supporting surface, such as a floor, and a tunnel structure positioned over the base. The tunnel structure has openings which serves as entrances and exits and which define a pathway through the play apparatus. The legs support the obstacles above the floor so that a child must step over the obstacles as he walks through the play apparatus. The tunnel structure is located at a predetermined height over the base. The height chosen requires a child to stoop or bend over while walking through the play apparatus. In one embodiment, the play apparatus has an additional tube attached to and extending through a side wall of the tunnel. The tube provides an additional opening through which a child may crawl. This embodiment has six obstacle members carried by the base. A second embodiment does not contain the additional side tube and has only four obstacle members.
