Dad Puts GoPro On Toddler and Watches Child Play Hide and Seek

Hide and seek is one of the first games a child learns to play. It tests their problem solving skills, memory and mobility. It may not always be a very exciting game for adults, but now that a thoughtful father caught the joy of a toddler playing on tape, the game has taken on a whole new sense of fun.

This newly viral video was originally posted in early 2015, but it’s making the rounds again due to its lighthearted nature and incredible capture of what it’s like to be a kid again. YouTube user Dan uploaded the video with the caption, “Strap a GoPro to your toddler and play Hide & Seek. So much awesome!”

That’s right, he suited his toddler up with a GoPro and then hid with his wife in a closet upstairs. They watched live on their phone while their child slowly worked out which room they must be hiding in. The family dog even gets in on the game, perhaps giving the toddler an unfair, but incredibly cute, advantage.

If you’re looking for a bit longer of a YouTube break, check out this video as a follow-up. It features kids playing hide-and-seek, but not so impressively.
