How to play

Lie them on their back and put a bright sock on one foot. Wait. They'll find it, grab it, and pull. Swap feet and do it again.

What you need

A pair of socks. Ideally odd ones.

Sensory

Grabbing their own foot means curling their whole body into a ball — the core strength that comes right before sitting up alone.

Safety first
Never leave socks or small clothing loose in the cot.
