Getting dressed for going outdoors can be a lengthy process with little ones (especially in winter with all the extra clothing) as we are sure you are very aware of! But being able to put on a jacket, zip it up, put boots/shoes on etc all provide children with key co-ordination and fine motor practise (which all goes to help with holding a pencil and writing skills). Also being able to get dressed by themselves will fill children with pride and independence!
This extra time at home is a great opportunity to give your children that extra practise. It can provide great conversation as well… what is the weather like today? So what will we need to put on for going outside?
