Crawling Support Guide

Help your baby build the foundation for crawling with purposeful play and simple activities you can do at home. This Crawling Support Guide is designed to support the skills that go into crawling including core strength, weight shifting, coordination, balance, motor planning, and bilateral integration — while helping you better understand why crawling matters for development.

Inside you’ll find:

• Step-by-step, easy, therapist-driven activities to encourage crawling
• Tips for babies who dislike crawling or seem “stuck”
• Positioning and setup ideas to support movement
• Play ideas for pre-crawlers, army crawlers, and new crawlers
• Education on the developmental benefits of crawling and the skills it builds

Created by a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, this guide is designed to feel realistic, supportive, and easy to implement into everyday play and no fancy equipment required.
