Jumping Shapes
Parent sets up colored shapes on the floor for toddler to jump between, observing balance, jumping coordination, and single-leg stability. The agent coaches the parent to notice how the child manages dynamic movement, weight shifting, and playful physical challenges — building gross motor skills and body control.
Free to do together whenever you like.
