Play suit
A play suit has a lot of small steps, and they go wrong mostly when the order slips. The visual support below lines them up so hands can keep up before patience runs out.

About this visual support
A play suit is a logistical puzzle for small hands: the zip has to track straight, one arm needs the right sleeve, one foot the right leg, and the whole thing usually happens in the hallway minutes before everyone else is already at the door. Every fastener becomes a chance to land in the wrong spot.
A picture sequence turns dressing into something closer to a jigsaw where each piece has a place. First the card for laying the suit flat, then one leg, then the other, then the arms, then the zip. The sequence lets the eyes guide the fingers, and the rush from the hallway becomes the calm pace of the cards. A tip specific to play suits: include a separate step for unfolding the suit with the zip pointing down before your child steps in. That single move keeps most starts from going sideways.
