Play guide

  1. 1Find one low, stable step or set up a sturdy low platform on a non-slip surface.
  2. 2Clear the area around it so a stumble lands on soft, open floor.
  3. 3Stand close and offer a hand or a steadying touch as your toddler steps up.
  4. 4Let them turn and step back down, staying right beside them.
  5. 5Let them repeat up and down as many times as they like, spotting each try.
