Materials: Toys to reach for.
STEP 1
Lay your child down on their stomach on a firm, safe surface, like a floor or mat.
STEP 2
Put some interesting toys near your child and encourage them to reach for them.
STEP 3
If you can, get down and do tummy time with them—playtime is more fun with you!
MAKE IT EASIER:
If tummy time is frustrating for your child, try putting them on your stomach and hold up toys for them to reach and grasp.
EXTEND THE LEARNING:
When your child is getting close to crawling, place interesting toys a little farther away to encourage children to crawl to them.
