Product Information

Encourage your baby to crawl by letting them practice pre-crawling movements and positions, like scooting on their belly. Remember, though, that each baby’s developmental path is unique. There are many factors that can influence how and when your baby begins to crawl. Entice your baby to scoot forward on their belly toward an interesting plaything.

Different types of crawling can often develop at the same time, so you might see your baby bear crawl one day and scoot the next. Although most babies crawl, some babies skip the crawling stage and go straight to walking. In fact, in 2022 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) removed crawling from the organization’s “official” list of developmental milestones. But while crawling is no longer an official motor milestone, developmental therapists continue to encourage babies to crawl because of its many benefits. Crawling is a unique opportunity for your baby to learn how to move their body to get to where they want to be and explore their environment on their own. Similar to walking, crawling helps your baby develop critical motor and cognitive skills and requires both sides of your baby’s body to work together, which builds pathways between the left and right sides of their brain. 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.

Crawling Hand Sound Activated Toy - Menkind

IT’S ALIVE!!!! Straight out of The Addams Family is Thing Crawling Hand and it is here exclusively at Yuppie Gadgets. It can grow with your child: Pre-crawlers are welcome to teethe on the fabric portion of the toy. When they’re ready to crawl, they can move the vehicles forward and chase after them. Even after the crawling stage, children can use their imagination, share with their friends, and create a new world with the vehicles. When you place the ball just out of your baby’s reach, he can take up the challenge of crawling and claiming it. The gentle rattle sound and a gummy chomp down on a textured bump can serve as pleasing rewards for your baby.

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. The classic forward scoot is another sign your baby may be getting ready to crawl. Here’s what it looks like: While on their belly, your baby will move forward by pulling with their arms and pushing with their legs. You can help them get a better grip by putting them in short sleeves and a diaper with their bare legs on the floor. Crawling over: Play a simple game with your toddler where you encourage them to crawl over your outstretched legs while sitting on the floor. You can try adding a pillow or two to make it more challenging. Developmental concerns with crawling Place your baby belly-down on a firm pillow or rolled-up blanket tall enough to lift their belly up off the floor and straighten their arms. Give your baby opportunities to feel different textures with their hands while they’re supporting their weight. Place a toy that makes noise, like the Spinning Rainbow, on an elevated surface—this encourages them to lift their chest and extend their arms to see the plaything. Playing on all fours Playing on all fours builds muscle strength for crawling. In photo: Drinking Cup from The Inspector Play Kit

The best crawling toys, however, are designed to deliver multiple benefits for your baby’s development. They are attractive and colorful and catch your baby’s eye (encouragement), providing a come-and-get-me factor (entertainment). These toys also tend to have interesting textures, which build cognitive development through sensory stimulation (exploration).

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.
