Any ideas for toys that may encourage crawling? DS is almost 7 months old and manages to get around toys that are out of reach by spinning around on his tummy. He already has a lot of toys and it would take too long to list them all here, but what would you wise mamas recommend specifically for encouraging him to crawl and start pulling himself up?

Ds2 loved pulling to a stand on his Leap Frog music table as well as his exersaucer. Crawling? Ds1 made his first crawl towards a Victoria's Secret catalog...you never know what could motivate someone. :)

Hillarious!! We have the Leapfrog table...I wonder if your DS was trying to pull himself up from a sitting position while playing with it...the table is pretty light so my only concern is that it would fall on him if he tries to pull up on it...but maybe it wouldn't! :)

If you already have a lot of toys you don't need to buy anything else. He'll crawl when he's ready but if you want to encourage him probably getting down on the floor yourself is the best thing you can do.

DD loved to chase half empty plastic water bottles. The caps are a choking hazard if they manage to get them off, so this was only under supervision.
