Wear pants
Stand steady on one leg, aim the foot right and pull up without losing balance. That little coordination dance is trickier than it looks. The steps below make each movement visible on its own.

About this visual support
Pants look like a simple thing, but for a small body they are a whole balancing exercise. Standing on one leg while the other hunts for the trouser leg, and then repeating it all on the other side, needs more coordination than is always on hand. If balance fails, you end up on the floor and start over, often with frustration thrown in.
When the movement is split into pictures, it becomes clear that this is several small actions, not one impossible grip. The child sees that one leg goes in first, then the other, and finally the pull-up. The picture removes the guessing about what comes next, so concentration can go to the balance itself.
One concrete tip: let the child sit down for the first two steps, getting both legs in while seated, and stand up only for the pull-up. That moves the hard balance to the end, when the pants are already halfway on. To carry the steps with you, you can build them in Routined and try the app free for fourteen days.
