Heel-to-Toe Twister
Parent guides child through a playful foot placement game using colored circles, observing heel-to-toe stepping patterns and balance. The agent coaches the parent to notice coordinated walking movements, stair-climbing readiness, and independent walking skills — building foot strength and coordination through fun physical play.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Clear floor space for standing and stepping. Cardstock paper with three colored circles drawn on it (red, blue, yellow). Both parent and child should be barefoot or in socks. Markers within reach if circles need to be redrawn.
How it works
The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
