Crawler · 6–12 months · Daily rhythm + weekly focus
Crawler Squad
Motion, mouths, and object permanence: the months where everything goes in the mouth and on the floor. A daily rhythm you can run today, this week's focus, age-matched activities, Nourish, development, and the portfolio. Scripted weeks for this stage are being written and roll out as they're ready.
Time it takes
30–40 minutes a day
Two 15-minute play blocks a day, a weekly 'yes space' setup, a weekly pod meet-up, and finger-food plans that keep pace with the pincer grasp.
What we promise
- Safe sensory play for mouthers
- Finger foods and the pincer grasp
- Peekaboo science: object permanence, cause and effect
- First words: narrate everything
Nourish & rest, included
From purees to real food: textures, finger foods, and the family table.
Two naps for most crawlers
Every week you get
A yes-space setup for the week (what to put out, what to put away)
Two daily play blocks with mouth-safe materials
A finger-food plan and one new food to try
A song, a book, and a fingerplay
Weekly pod meet-up plan with a floor activity everyone can share
Your grown-up check-in
A sample month, in your lane

- • Choking-hazard shapes and how to cut them
- • Milk at meals, water in an open cup
- • Iron and fat: what growing brains need
- • Dropping the bottle over the next months, gently
Educational guidance, not medical advice. Your pediatrician or a registered dietitian knows your child.
Rest at this stage
- • Two naps for most crawlers
- • Separation anxiety can wake them; keep the routine boring and the same
- • Early bedtimes still win
