Reach for the Toy
Parent places baby on tummy and positions a toy just out of reach, gently guiding baby's legs in a crawling motion. The agent coaches the parent to observe early crawling attempts, weight shifting, and motivation to move — building gross motor skills and the drive toward independent locomotion.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
