Overview
The child practices opening and closing a zipper on a wooden dressing frame. This isolates the zipper motion (pinching tab, aligning teeth, pulling smoothly) from the complexity of clothing. It builds finger dexterity and independence in self-dressing.
Objectives
What the child gains from this work
Master the pinch-pull motion for zipper operation. Develop bilateral hand coordination (one hand holds fabric, other operates zipper). Build independence in dressing. Strengthen pincer grip and precision. Practice sequencing (align, zip up, zip down).
