Overview
The child practices buttoning and unbuttoning on a wooden dressing frame with large buttons. This isolates the buttoning skill from the complexity of dressing, allowing the child to master the finger movements before applying them to their own clothing.
Objectives
What the child gains from this work
Master the pinch-and-push motion of buttoning. Develop bilateral coordination (each hand has a different role). Build independence in dressing and undressing. Strengthen pincer grip and finger dexterity. Practice sequential top-to-bottom ordering.
