You can get dressed by yourself! Go one step at a time. Soon it will be easy.
🏠 The Life Skills Way (step by step)
- LAY OUT: look at the weather. Rain? A raincoat and boots. Cold? A warm coat and mittens. Put your clothes on the bed.
- UNDERWEAR FIRST: put on your underwear first.
- TOP AND BOTTOM: put on your shirt and pants.
- SOCKS: pull on your socks.
- SHOES LAST: put your shoes on last.
👀 Check It
- TAG: the tag goes at the back.
- FRONT AND BACK: look at the front and the back.
- DO IT UP: close your buttons and zippers.
Is a button too tricky? Ask a grown-up for help. Sit down to put on pants and socks, so you do not fall.
