Category: Music & Movement

Babies are naturally active, and their movements help them explore their environment. They first move involuntarily, based on reflexes, and then learn to move more independently as their bodies grow stronger and they begin to investigate the world around them.


You can encourage their muscle development, strength and balance with simple activities done with infants as young as six weeks old.



From tummy time to crawling, scooting and standing, your active involvement will benefit infants in the following ways:
  • Maintaining a healthy weight
  • Developing good posture, strength, balance, and tracking skills
  • Keeping their bodies active and learning about their new environment
  • Developing their senses of hearing, sight, and touch

Michael N. ★★★★★

I was surprised how clearly it explains the difference between involuntary reflexes and purposeful movement, which helped me understand my baby's early physical development so much better. The paperback format makes it easy to flip through during playtime.

Avery ★★★★★

The section on reflexive movements helped me understand why my baby kicks so much during diaper changes. It’s given me simple ideas to turn that natural activity into gentle playtime.

Julian ★★★★★

I've been reading this to my 6-month-old and she loves the rhythm of the words. The paperback is lightweight enough for her to grab at the pages while we read together.
