Even though we want to help our children 'do it by themselves' sometimes it is hard to know exactly how to do that, especially when it comes to dressing and undressing. This is the way we help our kids put on their jackets before we go out to play. We call it the 'flip' and even a young toddler can master it with some practice.
 |
| First, lay the jacket down on the floor. Make sure the 'toes are by the tag' |
 |
| Then put arms in and count 1,2,3.... |
 |
| Then 'flip' the jacket up and over the head |
 |
| The arms slide in and the jacket is on! |

| G. just turned 3 and she can even zip her own jacket! |
