Up and Down with Colors

Parent guides child through a colorful balance game where your child bends to pick up crayons and then practices early writing skills. The agent coaches the parent to observe balance control during bending, pencil grip development, and circular stroke attempts — building foundational motor skills for writing readiness.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Tape cardstock paper to wall at child's chest height. Place 8 crayons scattered on floor about 2-3 feet from wall. Ensure floor surface is safe for bending (carpet or non-slip). Child should be wearing comfortable clothes that allow movement.

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
