Dress Up Pup

Description

Dress Up Pup is a happy camper when he is helping children learn about everyday activities like tying, buttoning and snapping. Each piece of his outfit is removable, right down to his hiking boots, and there are surprises to discover in his pockets. It is a great learning toy and a gift for any toddler!

Why we love it

Dress Up Pup is a great toy for a 2 year old because it is a brightly colored, cuddly, stuffed animal that helps to teach your child how to get dressed by him/herself. Can you please help me tie my shoes?

Product Features

• At first your little one will carry this comfy Dress Up Pup around like a doll or stuffed animal. In the long run, this little pup will help you teach your toddler basic skills every child needs.
• As your child grows more and more independent, he/she may insist on dressing himself/herself each day. Dress Up Pup will help him/her practice these new skills that require great attention to detail and fine motor skills.
• Demonstrate for your toddler how a zipper works. In the beginning undoing the zipper will be much easier for your little one than zipping up. Try doing all the zipping up and letting your child do the zipping down, until he/she becomes more adept at the mothion.
• Give these new actions names starting with just “up” and “down,” then add “zip up” and “zip down.”
• Again, unbuttoning and undoing the buckles will be easier at first. Concentrate on one or two actions each time with your child. You do the buttoning and buckling, and let your little one undo it.
• Tying Dress Up Pup’s shoes will come with practice, but for now let your child untie the shoes
• There’s a great sense of accomplishment in watching those laces come unraveled and those buttons come undone. Your little one will enjoy setting Dress Up Pup free from his clothes and undressing him.
