Are there specific toys that help encourage gross motor skills in toddlers?

While dedicated toys can be engaging, gross motor development—like crawling, standing, and climbing—is often best motivated by your baby's desire to explore their environment and reach you. Providing a safe, open space where they can see and interact with family members is the greatest incentive for movement. If you choose to invest in gear, Pikler triangles are versatile tools that evolve with your child’s abilities, allowing them to pull up, climb, and balance at their own pace.
