Simplify
Have a bag of clothes that includes a zipper, button, velcro, and shoelaces. Let the child choose the correct object when you ask and practice the skill needed with the clothing. For example, ask a child to choose an item of clothing from the bag that has a zipper. Now together zip and unzip the zipper.
Extend
This is fun to do while together you look inside a child's closet. Make sure you have the object in sight and give more than one direction at a time to the child. For example, please find me an item of clothes that is blue, has a pocket and a zipper OR please find me an item of clothes that is a jacket, has a hood, and a button, etc.
