Heel-to-Toe Twister
Parent guides child through a heel-to-toe walking game using colored shapes on the floor, observing balance, coordination, and stair-walking readiness. The agent coaches the parent to notice precise foot placement, independent walking patterns, and lower body strength — building foundation for complex motor skills.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Clear floor space for walking. Card stock or sturdy paper. Red, blue, and yellow markers. Child and parent should be barefoot or in socks. Shapes drawn on paper: red triangle, blue square, yellow circle. Place shapes on floor with space between them.
How it works
The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
