Tummy Time Treasure Hunt

How it works

1. 1

   Let's start by placing your child gently on they tummy on the blanket. Position the high-contrast toy or picture about 8-12 inches in front of your child. Take a moment to observe—does your child show any signs of trying to lift they head or turn toward the toy?

2. 2

   Now, let's add some movement. Slowly wave the colorful scarf or fabric above the toy, about 12 inches high. Watch your child's response—does they try to lift they head higher to follow the scarf?

3. 3

   Let's try a different angle. If you have the mirror, place it in front of your child, or simply move to they side and make a happy face. Observe—does your child lift or turn they head toward your face or the reflection?

4. 4

   For our final challenge, let's encourage a bit more endurance. Gently shake the soft rattle or tap near the toy to create a sound. Watch—does your child sustain they head lift while listening or looking?
