# Top Ten Blog Posts of 2017

![default-image](https://www.starfishtherapies.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Starfish/images/custom-images/default-image.svg)

![2017-03-28 23.24.31](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)

It’s been a few years since we did a top ten list at the end of the year (that may be because for a few years we weren’t very consistent with posting). Since we managed to get out a post every week of this year (yes, we are patting ourselves on the back) we thought we would take a look back and see what posts were the most read by you our readers!

Here are our top 10 overall from 2017:

10.  [Encouraging Rolling From Back to Stomach](https://starfishtherapies.com/2012/02/07/encouraging-rolling-from-back-to-stomach/)

9.  [What Does High Tone Mean?](https://starfishtherapies.com/2013/01/14/what-does-high-tone-mean/)

8. [Easter Egg Hunt For Motor Skills](https://starfishtherapies.com/2012/03/02/easter-egg-hunt-for-motor-skills/)

7.  [Having a Ball with Core Muscle Strength](https://starfishtherapies.com/2009/11/02/having-a-ball-with-core-muscle-strength/)

6.  [Avoiding the ‘Container Shuffle’ with Your Baby](https://starfishtherapies.com/2014/11/11/avoiding-the-container-shuffle-with-your-baby/)

3.  [A Glossary of Sitting](https://starfishtherapies.com/2009/04/27/a-glossary-of-sitting/)

2. [What Does Low Tone Mean?](https://starfishtherapies.com/2012/02/09/what-does-low-tone-mean/)

Interestingly enough, all of these were published prior to 2017, so I decided to dig a little deeper and find out our top ten that were published in 2017. Those are:

10. [Halloween Inspired Gross Motor Games](https://starfishtherapies.com/2017/10/15/halloween-inspired-gross-motor-games/)
