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

Baby on tummy on a soft mat or carpet. One attractive toy within sight but just out of reach. Parent positioned behind or beside baby.
