Crab Walk Challenge

Parent and child pretend to be crabs, practicing crab walking to enhance balance and strengthen hands, arms, legs, and core. The agent coaches the parent to observe the child's ability to maintain the crab position, coordinate cross-body movements, and demonstrate gross motor control — building foundational strength for more complex physical skills.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

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

How it works

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