Sit & Play Balance Challenge

How it works

1. 1

   First, let's see if your child can sit without support for a few seconds. Place a toy in front of they and encourage them to reach for it.

2. 2

   Now let's try a reaching game. Place one toy to your child's left side and another to the right. Encourage them to reach for each one.

3. 3

   Let's add some sound play. Shake a rattle or tap a cup above your child's head, encouraging them to look up while sitting.

4. 4

   For our final challenge, let's try passing a toy from one hand to the other while your child sits. Show them how to transfer it.
