Proprioceptive Sense Exercise
Parent approaches baby from across the room holding a toy, encouraging baby to reach for it as it gets closer. The agent guides the parent to observe how baby tracks the approaching object, reaches with intention, and opens hands in anticipation — revealing spatial awareness and early hand-eye coordination.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Baby in a supported position with clear line of sight across the room. Parent at the far end of the room holding a colourful toy. Room should be well-lit.
