Encourage your child to reach for toys while sitting. 
Make this play more difficult by placing objects 
a little way in front of baby, so she has to reach 
further forward to get them.

Ask your child to reach for a different toy each time 
from a choice of 2 or 3, (for example, “where’s the 
ball?”). Change the tone and emphasis of your 
own voice to link to the movements and to help 
your child to focus on the key words. 

Activity Suggestions

Floor Sitting

Encourage your child to reach for toys while 
sitting. At first, place toys within easy reach and 
encourage grasping, moving from hand to hand, 
banging together, and throwing.

While sitting place toys to either side, encouraging 
reaching out to the side. All of these movements 
help to develop neck and trunk muscles, eye-hand 
co-ordination and weight shift.

To help your child learn new words, remember to 
bring any toys you use into her line of vision before 
you name them.

Hold a brightly coloured object 12-15” in front of 
your child’s face. Move slowly in a semi-circle. 
She will learn to turn her head in sitting, using 
her hip and pelvic muscles to keep her steady 
against gravity, and using trunk muscles to rotate 
from one side to another.

To help your child learn new words, remember 
to bring any toys you use into her line of vision 
before you name them.
