Push to Crawl
Parent places baby on all fours and gently pushes against the soles of their feet to encourage forward sliding and crawling readiness. The agent guides the parent to observe crawling position stability, forward movement attempts, and tummy-based locomotion — building the motor foundations for independent crawling.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Baby on hands and knees (or tummy) on a soft, firm surface like a play mat. Favorite toy placed just out of reach ahead. Parent positioned behind baby to access the soles of baby's feet.
