Crab Walk Challenge

Parent and child pretend to be crabs, sitting on the floor then lifting their bodies to walk sideways in a crab position. The agent coaches the parent to observe balance control, core strength, and coordinated movement — building gross motor skills through imaginative play.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Clear floor space large enough for parent and child to move sideways. No materials needed. Both participants should wear comfortable clothing that allows movement.

How it works

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
