Activity: Baby Mountain

Materials:
Several pillows
Time:
15 minutes
Skills:
Gross motor skills

This activity helps crawling or scooting babies to build strong muscles and improve balance.

Build a "mountain" of couch pillows for your baby to climb over. Sit on the floor with your baby so you can help steady him as he climbs.

Watch his determination as you wait with open arms on the other side. Don’t be surprised if your little problem solver crawls around the obstacle!
