Obstacle Course Explorer

Parent creates a simple obstacle course with a ball blocking access to a favorite toy, encouraging baby to problem-solve and move toward desired objects. The agent coaches the parent to observe baby's planning, persistence, and exploratory movements — building cognitive problem-solving and early motor planning skills.
