Developing early physical (gross motor) skills

These activities are intended to help you help your child to develop their early physical (gross motor) skills from rolling over to more advance skills after they learn to walk. Not every child develops skills in the same order, so it is important to look across the different sections. For example, you may need some activities to develop lying to sitting at the same time as you are working on sitting to crawling.
