6-9 Months Motor Skills

Between 6-9 months, babies are developing their gross and fine motor skills, which are important for their physical development and coordination. During this stage, babies begin to sit up on their own, crawl, and may even start to pull themselves up to stand. Providing age-appropriate toys that encourage motor skill development can be helpful in supporting your baby's growth. Here are some examples of toys that are suitable for babies aged 6-9 months to promote motor skills:

Activity gyms and play mats with hanging toys can encourage babies to reach and grab objects and promote their hand-eye coordination.

Soft blocks or stacking toys can help babies develop their grasping and hand dexterity skills.

Push and pull toys, which can encourage babies to start moving and crawling.

Ride-on toys or walkers can help babies develop their balance, coordination, and leg strength.

Toys with buttons, levers, and switches, can help develop babies' fine motor skills and finger dexterity.


When choosing toys for your baby, it's important to ensure that they are safe, durable, and age-appropriate. Encouraging your baby to play and explore with these types of toys can help promote their motor skill development and lay a strong foundation for their future physical abilities.
