How to try it

Space a few favorite toys along the sofa seat so your baby can pull up and side-step from one to the next. Stay beside them and cheer every wobbly shuffle along the cushions.

Materials

  • A few favorite toys

Safety note

Clear hard toys from the floor, pad sharp corners, and stay within arm's reach for the sit-downs.
