In kindergarten, children try to fend for themselves and teachers encourage them.
Dressing and undressing are especially times when they must quickly gain autonomy.
How to choose the right clothes to help them?
Recess, school outings, gym class, parent time, so many opportunities to get dressed and undressed to school.
And when there are 30 toddlers to take care of, the teacher is very happy when most manage to do it alone, rather than having to close buttons in a chain...
Here are some very simple tricks so that your Loulou doesn't need anyone.
Zip and velcro are the two friends of toddlers:still clumsy fingers have a hard time getting the button into the buttonhole, and even more so getting it out!
How many pee-pants could have been avoided if Zoe hadn't had a button on her pants, but a zipper or a big elastic waistband in his pants?
Ditto for the Velcro (or scratch!) which closes or opens with a single movement and allows quick dressings. The press stud isn't bad either, but a little trickier to close:good for a cardigan or a coat, however.
Kindergarten teachers spend a considerable amount of time during recess tying the shoelaces that have come undone and that Loulou doesn't know how to do again.
For shoes too, remember to favor Velcro or zips on the sides, it's so much faster!
In addition to the dangerous side that these accessories can present in the event of misappropriation of their role, they are not really practical :the belts dangle, the shoulder straps get stuck, and bother the child more than they help him. Avoid!
The same goes for ribbons, bows, strings, jewelry and other fancy chains or necklaces that will embarrass the little schoolboy. You can easily dress the little ones nicely without complicating their life, the main thing is that he is comfortable to play and feel good at school.
Do you have any other tips for adapting children's clothes to their school activities? We would love to read them in your comments.
