The 4 Best Toys For Gross Motor Skill Development

Hi Emma, I love your videos and often refer people to your channel for evidence based advice. My daughter is 7 months old and I was wondering what floor seat/portable chair you would recommend for her.

This video makes me think the plastic push walker is better than the wooden light one without the activities

Things your baby really doesn't need: push walkers. Completely unnecessary.

thanks but my baby now is eight months but she didnt crowing😔

I'm so confused as I've been reading that walkers are very dangerous so wasn't expecting to see them on the list let alone first. Everything you said makes sense but there's so much conflicting information out there

Just a reminder to parents that although these items are great recommendations, they're still not necessary!
I grew up in a poorer family that DID have toys but not any of these activities (except a ball!) or other item with promised benefits. My siblings and I all hit our milestones on track or early (I started walking at 8 months).

Out of ease and frugality, my parents let us play on the floor, at the park, at jungle gyms - all free. My Mom was a HUGE fan of Chuck E. Cheese and McDonald's for their free play places - we would stay there for HOURS. Free water and bathrooms, cheap food at McD (though I wouldn't suggest THAT part now), endless play and social interactions.

All to say, you're good.all extra things are extra. If you're watching these kinds of videos, you're clearly a parent who cares, who is/will be attentive, and will spend time with your Babies. Those go way further toward your Babies' growth and development than most any toy.

My baby is of 15month old he still don’t have a sitting balance he is having developmental delay any suggestions for that please🙏

Hi emma, recently i started watching your videos and its great content. Point to add Most of the tips you mentioned have been followed in india particularly south india before many decades.

My baby has fell twice from the pushchair because he lifts it and he foll behind ☹️ he is 9 months and 2 weeks

Welcome to our learning farm! We have lots to show you!

My 8 month old has been cruising the furniture for a few months now. Going to get a ball.

Okay but the animation edit is amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Emma you have your pregnancy glow 🥰 wishing and praying for a healthy Mum and baby ❤️

Hi, my boy is almost 12 months and he can’t sit, crawl or stand yet. Doctors said he is ok, but more slow. So it’s very difficult to found good toys, can you recommend something please?

Hi Emma. Is there a video of yours that talks about when to drop the bottle, how to transition, and/or bottle alternatives?

Hi! Do you have any tips on wooden activitytables? Or what to look for in a table? (Size and type of activities?) from what age is it suitable? :)

Thank you so much for this very informative blog it helps a lot,God bless
Watching from :Philippines

Love the push walker, my 9 month old loves racing through the living room. The only problem is she doesn't know how to turn with the thing.....

Hello how would my 6 month old progress into the push walker?

Hello how would my 6 month old progress into the push walker?

So I've not really been able to afford any fancy baby toys or equipment however my girl is managing perfectly fine without them. It makes me feel much better knowing that she's developing just as well without them. I really want to get her the walker though🙈 hopefully I'll be able to soon

I was literally looking for a new toy for my baby today, but then realized she likes to play with empty water bottles, her dirty laundry, her broom, her books . Pretty anything but her toys..lol

My baby is almost 10months and hates the idea of crawling she wants to get up

I got the baby gym when my baby was 3 months because I saw in one of your videos the recommendation. She’s almost 12 months and still loves it!

My baby is 14 months old not interested in balls! haha. She loves books and boxes and just about any kind of plastic rubbish (wipes packages )

What about balance bikes??

Wait, I thought you said push walkers are a big no no, in one of the videos

Now that my baby is 14months, I've realised that A LOT of the toys out there which are supposedly 'perfect' for the development of our babies are actually just marketing jargon and my baby does not really need it! However, If I had to recommend one I would put my money in a push walker! She is so used to pushing it now that she pushes everything she can find in the same way and walks around the house with it....chair...footstool...even a box! 😀It helps to learn to walk for sure! Thank you Emma I love love love your videos! 💜

Nice Videe

I’m confused, I recall you saying that walkers are dangerous for babies since it allows them to move at high speeds.

Thanks!

👍

My baby is 7 months old and she is already standing with the help of that push- walking toy ❤

it'll be hard to use our baby push walker for tummy time with my 2 month old because my 1 year old with keep taking it lol

Great video Ema🥳 greetings from an OT, Melbourne.

Another great video Emma, a walker definitely helped my son walk hers for sure.
