Beach baby – use a large, light ball to help your baby feel their feet

What you need 

• A large, light ball, like a beachball  

What to do 

1. Lie your baby on their back and place the ball on their tummy.  
2. Watch to see if your baby can move the ball with their body. They might use their feet as they kick or wriggle. 
3. If they enjoy this, you can try placing the ball in slightly different positions on or close to their arms and legs. 

Good to know 

Practising the action of moving a ball with their feet may encourage them to move their feet towards their mouth.
