✨NEWBORN TOYS✨.

🔗Follow+Comment “newborn” for a link to all of my pediatric OT-approved newborn toys!

As a pediatric OT, I want toys that will support development and that have longevity!

Let’s be real, newborns don’t need a ton! But I love these simple toys because they will support your newborn’s development AND will be used for many months beyond!

With baby #3 on the way, I’ve been going through toys to find what we will and won’t use and these ones make the cut every time!

⭐️3-6 Month Play Ideas ⭐️

I frequently hear this can be a tough age for play because baby is so much more aware, but still can’t really do “that much.”

And I totally get that, but, as a pediatric OT, I actually find it to be one of the most exciting times for play….orrrrr at least thera-play! 😂

You see babies are learning SO much from 3-6 months. In this time period they go from newborns to babies who can potentially be eating foods, rolling, maybe even sitting up on their own.

And there are so many ways we can support this progression for them through play!

⭐️So if you’re feeling a little stumped on what to do, I hope these help!

And stay tuned for part 2 bc I have more!!!

🚂simple activities with a big impact!

If you want to help your baby start crawling, here’s where I’d start, as a mom to 2 and pediatric OT!

1️⃣ Place toy/preferred objects out of reach while baby is in tummy time. This motivates baby to move! And that early movement helps set the stage and develop the muscles for crawling!
2️⃣Supported quadruped over your knee or boppy pillow! This helps encourage the position for crawling, while also helping with the very important skill of weightbearing through the arms! Once baby masters that, offer a toy to encourage baby to reach up with one arm while stabilizing with the other.
3️⃣Kneeling Play! This really helps develop babies core—abdominals, glutes, hamstrings! All those super important muscles needed for crawling. Plus it helps get baby accustomed to the kneeling position. Use your legs or arms to block babies knees on each side to help keep baby from slipping. As baby gets better in the position, offer toys higher up to encourage baby to go from kneeling on ankles to tall kneeling.
4️⃣Wheelbarrow walking! Support babies belly as you guide them forward to encourage the forward motion or the arms for crawling. This is great for strengthening and coordination.
