That or a mirror, like the ones in old school shoe stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102484 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 06:09:25 +0000 pelikila 102484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think what motivates an individual baby depends on the baby. My son wasn't motivated to crawl until food was involved. Same with pulling up to stand - food/bottle is all that worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102431 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 22:37:10 +0000 BoogieBea 102431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use whatever motivates her to move. She loves balls and our phones. She's not fully crawling just yet. She moves with mostly her arms like a seal. DH says she looks like a slug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102349 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 19:42:20 +0000 chopsuey 102349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really motivate my Lo to crawl.. I just let her roll around on the floor until she was ready! Lo loves remotes, my phone, computer, and crinkly toys too though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102348 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 19:39:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 102348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wagon Jr.'s best motivation was my cup of iced coffee. He liked the noise the ice made and how cold and wet the cup was. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102347 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 19:39:48 +0000 heffalump 102347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just put toys all over the room. But she doesn't crawl, she'll scootch and roll her way to them. I didn't even know there were special toys for crawling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102292 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:59:35 +0000 anbanan15 102292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loved the OBall rattle, both as a rattle and to chase after. </p> <p>I think crawling is one of those things that happens when they are ready and no matter what speciality toys you have LO will do it when he/she is ready. The important part I giving them plenty of supervised opportunity to practice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102291 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:59:01 +0000 Rubies 102291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a toy, but Mum-Mums are what LO to crawl. Or anything with a crunchy/crinkly wrapper. Or, the remote. Or, my cell phone. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-toy-to-encourage-crawling#post-102285 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:50:04 +0000 katmmad 102285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any reccs on the best toys to encourage crawling? A friend mentioned a "crawl ball," but Amazon shows that Lamaze, Vtech, and Fisher Price all have low-rated offerings. Any favorites? </p>
