Toy Trail Cleanup

Parent creates a trail of toys leading to a box, encouraging child to squat, pick up toys, and walk or run while carrying them to the box. The agent coaches the parent to observe emerging running speed, squatting coordination, and walking while holding objects — building gross motor control, balance, and coordination.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Open floor space clear of obstacles. Small toys (4-6 items) that are easy for child to grasp. Box or basket placed at one end of the room. Toys scattered in a trail leading to the box, with space between them for walking.
