Ready, Set, Crawl

Ready, Set, Crawl

What a blast for babies on the move! Use cushions, pillows, blankets, and small throw rugs to make hills and tunnels and bumps for him to crawl over and under. Get down on the floor and help him through this homemade playground. He'll enjoy it even more.

If you'd rather try something with no clean-up, here's a good one: As you clap your baby's hands together, chant:

Clap your hands, one, two, three
Play a clapping game with me
Now your hands have gone away
Find your hands so we can play!


On "gone away," hide his hands under his favorite blanket, and on "find your hands," pull them out again.
