Support independence and build fine motor skills with the Lakeshore Dressing Frames Kit of 6. This comprehensive set offers children a practical and engaging way to practise essential dressing techniques—from zipping and buttoning to tying and buckling. Each frame focuses on a different fastening method, making it an excellent tool for developing hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and confidence in daily routines.
Perfectly suited for early learning environments, each dressing frame is crafted from solid hardwood and finished with thickly padded, double-stitched fabric covers—built to withstand years of classroom use. The set includes six key dressing tasks: zip, snap, button, buckle, lacing, and tie. Whether children are slipping buttons through loops, threading laces, or working out how to buckle a strap, each activity mimics real-life dressing movements, preparing them for self-care and everyday independence. Ideal for individual work, occupational therapy, or life-skills learning areas, the Lakeshore Dressing Frames Kit turns routine tasks into empowering, hands-on play.
