Montessori Fastening Learning Frames - Hooks

How do you help your toddler learn to button their shirts or tie their shoes? How did Dr. Montessori, Italian's first female physician and educator, and founder of the Montessori Method, do it?

• In the Montessori method, Dr. Montessori created a series of dressing frames, which she called the fastening games for children to practice practical life skills
• Through the use of such toys, the children can practically analyze the movements necessary in dressing and undressing themselves and can prepare themselves separately for these movements by means of repeated exercise
• Thus, parents or teachers can succeed in teaching the child to dress himself without his really being aware of it, that is, without any direct or arbitrary command he leads to his mastery
• Provoking children's auto-education is a huge part of the Montessori education and the difference from common parents' and others' practices which give direct commands or do the movements for the children
• Fastening Hooks helps in hand and eye coordination, motor skills etc
• The cloth can be removed and washed
