Games to Stimulate Gross Motor Skills (3 to 6 Months)

Reaching Out (gross motor, 3-6 months)

* You will notice that your baby loves to reach out for things at this stage.
* Sit your baby on your lap and give him his favorite toy to hold.
* Play with him and talk to him, try to make the process as pleasant as possible.
* Now, take his toy and hold it up slightly higher than his hand can reach. Encourage him to reach out for the toy. This will strengthen his muscles.
* Remember to praise him and give him the toy after he reaches for it.


Let’s Rolling (gross motor, 3-6 months)

* Lay your baby on a soft flat surface.
* Pick two colorful toys that he likes.
* Put one toy at each side (left and right) of the baby.
* Say to him, “Let’s start rolling!”
* Gently roll him over to his left so that he can look at the toy on his left side, he will try to reach for the toy.
* Then roll him over to the right to look at the other toy, again, he will try to reach for the toy.
* This game encourages him to roll from side to side.
