According to a study from the Journal of Sport and Health Science, encouraging kids to hop and skip significantly affects their overall well-being. A seemingly simple act, the two-footed jump, is a giant leap in a child's development.

When do Toddlers Learn to Jump with Both Feet?

Two feet jumping typically appears around two years old. By this age, your toddler already has more control over their movements. They'll walk stable, climb stairs easily, and stand on their toes. You can even catch them bending their knees and pushing onto their tiptoes.

Monitoring Your Toddler's Development

Every child has their own pace when developing motor skills. But you should talk to an expert if your little one is approaching three years old and still struggles with jumping. With every hop, skip, and jump, your kid builds confidence and independence that will carry them far beyond their first flight.

Finding the right pair of shoes can make a difference in your toddler's foot development. First Walkers offers the perfect shoes for every milestone, ensuring your child's journey is supported at every step.
