Today’s 10 Days to Conquer mini workout for kids will help kids achieve independence with clothing fasteners!
Many children struggle with completing buttons, zippers, buckles and hooks on their clothing. It can be frustrating and even embarrassing as they try to manage their clothing in the bathroom or when they’re getting dressed or undressed for the day.
Learning to fasten clothing is a big milestone for kids, helping them build independence, confidence, and fine motor skills. Buttons, zippers, snaps, and Velcro all require different hand movements and coordination, which can be challenging.
Completing clothing fasteners independently depends on a lot of factors. Kids need to have adequate grasping skills and hand strength to pinch and pull zippers, buttons, and buckles.
They need to demonstrate dexterity and visual motor integration to coordinate the movements with their hands. And they need to have adequate bilateral coordination skills to be able to use both hands together to bring the two parts of the fasteners together efficiently.
But practicing clothing fasteners can be fun!
Help your little one work up to completing clothing fasteners more independently with this free printable 10-day workout. Each day, your child can complete the fun and simple activities or exercises, getting him closer and closer to her goal!
