The simple investigation of clothing invites children to build confidence with self-help skills, from independently choosing what to wear to putting on and taking off coats, shoes and shirts. Additionally, the child works on fine motor skills while manipulating buttons and shoelaces. They will discover that clothing has many different purposes, like keeping us warm or protecting our body.
Shirts can have buttons, snaps, pockets or collars. Some shirts have long sleeves, some have short sleeves and some have no sleeves. I showed them shirts with collars, snaps and buttons; they tried snapping buttons. They laced buttons and played a game sorting buttons by color. They took turns rolling the color cube, stated the color they rolled, picked the matching button and placed on the color mat. They were encouraged to decorate their own shirt using markers, yarn and glue.
I provided play dough, buttons and a shirt cookie cutter and let the kids use their imaginations.
They used translucent stickers to search and find letter H.
