Put on sweater
For a few seconds the child sees nothing at all. The head is inside the sweater and the hands are searching for sleeves they cannot see. The visuals below show the sequence from outside, so the order stays clear even in the dark moment.

About this visual support
What makes sweaters tricky is rarely the concept itself. It is the short second when the head is inside the fabric and the hands need to locate sleeves without sight to guide them. Add a scratchy collar or a fibre that itches and the moment turns small but stressful.
A visual support keeps the sequence visible outside the body: collar over the crown, one arm at a time, hem coming down. The brief dark second becomes a known step instead of an unclear leap, and the order holds even when sight drops out.
A concrete tip: turn the sweater so the label is on the outside before handing it over, and choose one without a scratchy seam at the neck on days that already feel tight. When you build the morning in the Routined app, the sweater sits as its own card so the child can see exactly when that step is coming.
