takes time and practice. Here are some activities that not only help
children learn about dressing and caring for their clothes, but also
help other aspects of their development.
WHERE'S YOUR HAT?
From six months
It may seem strange, but children usually learn how to dress by undressing first. Once you have spotted that your baby has started to pull off their hat, you can turn it into a game. When indoors, look out for different hats that can be pulled off. Each time your baby pulls off their hat, say 'Where's your hat?' Watch as your child pulls it off and giggles.
