Shape Landing Jump
Parent guides child to jump from a low step onto different colored shapes taped to the floor. The agent coaches the parent to observe jumping technique, balance, and shape recognition — building gross motor skills and cognitive integration through active play.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Low step or bottom stair (approximately 10 inches high). Three colored shapes (circle, triangle, square) cut from paper or foam, taped to floor in front of step. Ensure landing area is clear and safe. Parent positioned nearby for spotting.
