Cute...but is it normal?

lulubugsmama · April 2013

Although cute, I am not sure if this is completely normal. When my daughter is playing she loves to use her feet. For example, we have a bouncy ball with bumps on it and she would prefer to roll it around with her feet instead of her hands. She has an wooden activity cube with different "games" on each side (tic tac toe, a spinning maze, etc..), she uses her feet to maneuver things instead of her hands. She can use her hands, but seems to prefer using her feet. Does anybody else's LO do this?

(Sorry if this is confusing)

My LO is obsessed right now with her toes and feet. She hates having her socks on and is always pulling them off. She loves to rub her bare feet against whatever is nearby... Her toys, blanket, and even me when we are feeding

I often see my son playing with toys with his feet. I think it's completely normal.

Totally normal.

Thanks ladies! I feel better now. I wasn't convinced that there was something wrong with her, but I thought maybe the behavior was a little abnormal. So glad to hear I was wrong. <img src="https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big

K is the same! His feet must touch everything. I think it's a normal part of development.

Normal. My DS is so obsessed with feet that he tries to take OTHER babies socks off.

My LO is also obsessed with her feet! Something I am curious about is- do any of your LO's hit themselves in the head with their hands or toys? DD does this sometimes and I am wondering why?
