About this deal

Crawling over pillows: Pediatric PTs recommend pillow crawling for many babies, even those that aren’t doing an asymmetrical crawl. Simply lay some throw pillows on the floor in a pile and encourage your baby to crawl over them. This will strengthen and stretch both sides of their body. Reminder: Never leave your child unsupervised with blankets or pillows. Kneeling engages your baby’s trunk, pelvis, and spine to help them stay upright. A “tall kneel” is when your baby’s bottom is lifted off their heels, working their core muscles and helping them practice balance. A tall kneel also requires your baby to bear weight on their knees, which is necessary for crawling and for transitioning from the floor to standing. To encourage this, place a toy on a low surface, like a couch or coffee table. Starting in a low kneel, help your baby reach for the toy and shift forward, lifting off their bottom and into a tall kneel. Some babies prefer to scoot on their bottom, also known as a “bum shuffle.” In this crawling variation, your baby uses their trunk muscles with their legs out in front of their body to propel themselves forward. Many babies prefer bottom scooting while they’re still building the strength in their arms and core for crawling. As your baby becomes more mobile, they may experiment with different types of crawling. Studies find that babies often use a variety of crawling types, sometimes even switching between types within a relatively short period of time. So don’t be surprised if you see your baby army-crawling one day and switching to a bear crawl or even a scoot the next. Your baby may crawl differently depending on the surface they’re moving across, or the clothes they’re wearing.

Playing on all fours Playing on all fours builds muscle strength for crawling. In photo: Drinking Cup from The Inspector Play Kit When selecting a toy, the image of your baby’s happy face may come to mind. Consider how you feel about the toy in question as well. Are there features that make loud noises? Is set-up going to pose a problem? If you can see yourself becoming annoyed or retreating to another room, choose another toy.Sidesitting is excellent for developing core strength for crawling. Position your baby so they’re sitting with one leg bent in front of them and the other bent behind. Then, give them something exciting to reach for. This helps them shift their center of gravity and put one or both hands on the floor for support, getting them closer to an all-fours position. Entice them to reach: You can use the Stainless Steel Jingle Keysto encourage your baby to reach forward in a hands and knees position. Start by placing your baby on all fours. Jingle the keys at your baby’s eye level to encourage them to reach forward with one hand while putting all of their weight on the other. Once they can maintain hands and knees while reaching and touching the keys, try increasing the distance to the keys slightly to see if they’re ready to explore forward movement. Another common form of crawling is the commando or “army” crawl, in which your baby lays on their belly and uses their arms to move forward. Research suggests that as many as half of babies use this crawl, often before moving on to the classic crawl. While your baby is still building the arm strength to put weight on their hands, the army crawl lets them keep most of their weight on their belly. This also helps them solve the issue of balance, since keeping their belly on the floor helps them maintain stability. Long after your baby’s crawling and up to the age of 3, the elephant teaches: colors, numbers, sounds, phrases, and over 45 songs. The elephant crawls a few inches before stopping, encouraging your baby to catch up with it easily. Designed with parents in mind, this toy includes volume control, washable material, and automatic shut-off.

Sidesitting, tall kneel, and other play positions can help your baby build muscle strength and balance for crawling. Additionally, the wheels detach from the washable fabric, making them easy to clean. Another great feature is that the vehicles bounce off walls and continue moving in another direction. As soon as your baby shows signs that they may be crawling soon—for example, scooting or holding in a hands-and-knees position—it’s time to think about babyproofing.

Place a puzzle piece at one end and the puzzle base at the other. Your toddler has to crawl through the tunnel to put the puzzle piece in its place. You can also have your toddler sit in the tunnel and play a game in which you pass a ball in and out of the tunnel. They can try using their crawling motion to move the ball through the tunnel. Good crawling toys promote crawling. The best crawling toys not only serve as encouragement for crawling, but also provide entertainment and opportunities for exploration.
