Question

What are some imaginative activities for kids that involves crawling or creeping?

Answer 1

Provide “tummy time” for young infants as crawling time.

The best way to encourage crawling — just as with creeping, reaching and grabbing — is to place toys and other desirable objects (even yourself) just beyond your baby's reach. The American Academy of Pediatrics also suggests using pillows, boxes, and sofa cushions to create obstacle courses for him to negotiate. This will help improve his confidence, speed, and agility. Just don't leave him alone — if he gets stuck under a pillow or box, he'll surely be frightened and may be in danger of smothering.

Restraining your innate desire to protect your baby allows him to grow and learn for himself. However, do make every effort to make your home baby-safe.

Answer 2

Animals that are low to the ground. You could do a whole host of animals that crawl and creep along, each child get to be an animal, and "build" an obstical course that they have to crawn through, over and under.

Answer 3

Use boxes and connect them to make tunnels (pretend to be moles, digging for treasure, etc)

Pretending to be various animals like snakes, dogs, frogs, bunnies

To learn a safety skill, like staying low in a house fire
