Roll and Reach Sit-Up Fun

How it works

1. 1

   First, place your child on they back on the soft blanket. Hold a colorful toy just out of reach to they side. Let's see if your child tries to roll toward the toy.

2. 2

   Now that your child is on they side, hold the toy slightly above and in front. Encourage your child to use they arms to push up toward sitting.

3. 3

   As your child pushes up, watch how they coordinates they legs and trunk. The goal is for your child to swing legs forward and find balance in sitting.

4. 4

   Once your child reaches sitting, offer the toy for they to hold. Observe how your child maintains balance without support.
