Pillow Mountain Climb, a baby activity for 6–11 months

How to play

1
Stack couch cushions, pillows, and blankets into a soft mountain or obstacle course.
2
Place an exciting toy at the top as motivation.
3
Encourage baby to climb up: "You can do it! Almost at the top!"
4
Stay close to spot them and cheer as they reach the summit!

What you need

• Couch cushions
• Pillows
• Blankets

Simple household items. No plastic toys needed.

Why it works

Climbing builds gross motor skills, core strength, and spatial planning. Conquering the "mountain" builds confidence and a sense of achievement.

Good to know

Stay within arm's reach at all times. Place extra padding around the edges in case baby rolls or tumbles off the side.
