Put on outdoor clothes
Going from indoor shoes to fully dressed for outside is a long sequence with a logic that collapses if the mittens come on too early. The pictures below pin each garment to its place in the order.

About this visual support
Getting dressed for outdoors is not one step, it is six or eight. Thin trousers under thicker ones, socks settled before the boots, scarf before the jacket so the collar covers it. If the mittens go on too early, the rest of the sequence becomes impossible because the fingers cannot work zips or buttons. That is where a visible order saves time.
With visual support, the whole chain lies open at once. The child can see that mittens come last, that the hat follows a closed jacket, that the boots need their zip or velcro fastened before standing up. If one item is missing partway through, you can point to its picture and look for that specific thing, without restarting the whole order from the top.
A concrete tip: lay the garments out in the row they will be used, on the floor or hallway bench, the evening before. Then the visual schedule and reality match, and the child can follow the row from left to right. In the Routined app you can build the outdoor sequence by season, so winter and spring each have their own list. 14-day free trial, then a paid subscription.
