Quick Answer

Getting Dressed Homework gives families a simple way to practice the whole dressing routine. Children work on putting on clothes, socks, and shoes during five everyday dressing times, with help where needed. The goal is to help children do more for themselves as they practice.

What’s Inside

This 3-page PDF includes:

• A teacher cover page with directions and Preschool Vibes Standards.

• A keep-at-home family page with three illustrated steps, a “Did You Know?” paragraph, a practical parent tip, and five practice checkboxes.

• A family signature version with the same activity, plus space for the child’s name, date, and family signature.

How to Use

Send home the version that fits your classroom. Families set out clothes, socks, and shoes, then give their child time to do as much as they can. Check one box each time they practice getting dressed from start to finish.

The keep-at-home page says, “Keep this page at home and continue practicing. It does not need to be returned.” The signature version asks families to sign and return it after five practices.

Preschool Vibes Standards

• 8E. We can show growing independence in self-care routines (handwashing, toileting, dressing tasks as appropriate).

• 1B. We can stay with an activity and keep trying when it’s challenging.
