Children are driven to be independent and when they feel accomplishment it affects a child’s self-esteem in a positive way. Through daily experience and opportunities to practise these important skills, children will feel proud of their success when going outside! We continue go out outside daily in the Winter for fresh air and to play in the snow. 

Getting Dressed for Winter involves:
Gross motor: lifting arms and legs in specific coordinated motions and balancing to take off shoes and snow pants
Fine motor: being able to use fingers to manipulate small objects (zippers, velcro, buttons, buckles, and laces)
Cognitive: being able to understand the sequence of putting on clothing and to think about how seasons and temperature affect what should be worn
