Getting Dressed Sequence Cards

Step by step

1. 1Print 5 or 6 clothing cards (underwear, socks, pants, sweater, shoes).
2. 2Spread the cards randomly across the table and ask, "What goes on first?"
3. 3Try silly combinations for a laugh: "What if we put shoes on before pants?", try it out, and see what happens.
4. 4Line up the cards in the order you agreed on together.
5. 5Hang the sequence right by the bed or wardrobe.
6. 6Every morning, your child follows THEIR sequence; sort summer/winter versions as the seasons change.

What it builds

Deciding at the table that underwear goes on before pants helps your child think through the steps before doing them for real. Come morning, they're not just following your orders—they're running their own plan, displayed right by the bed, getting dressed like a pro.
