Who is this for?
Children typically start using Montessori Dressing Frames as part of practical life teaching around the age of 2 to 3 years old. These frames are designed to help children learn practical skills related to dressing themselves independently.
Here are the developmental milestones and skills children work on when using Montessori Dressing Frames:
Fine Motor Skills: Handling and manipulating the fasteners on dressing frames (such as buttons, snaps, zippers, laces, and buckles) helps develop fine motor control and coordination.
Hand-Eye Coordination: Practicing tasks like buttoning, zipping, or lacing requires hand-eye coordination as children aim and manipulate the fasteners correctly.
Independence and Self-Help Skills: Learning to use dressing frames supports children in becoming more independent with dressing and undressing themselves.
Problem-Solving: Figuring out how to manipulate different types of fasteners and complete tasks like buttoning a shirt or tying shoelaces encourages problem-solving skills.
Spatial Awareness: Understanding how pieces fit together and learning the sequence of steps for dressing promotes spatial awareness and planning.
Patience and Persistence: Mastering tasks with dressing frames can require patience and persistence as children practice and refine their skills.
Sequential Thinking: Following the steps to complete tasks like buttoning or zipping helps children develop sequential thinking skills.
Confidence and Self-Esteem: Successfully mastering tasks on dressing frames can boost children's confidence and self-esteem as they achieve greater independence.
