How Do I Dress?
Parent guides child through a drawing activity where they dress a paper doll in the correct sequence, teaching dressing order and fostering self-care skills. The agent coaches the parent to observe the child's understanding of clothing sequence, fine motor control during drawing, and emerging independence in self-care routines.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Child seated at table or on floor with paper and crayons. Several pieces of child's clothing (shirt, pants, socks, shoes) laid out nearby. Parent positioned to assist with drawing if needed.
