Melissa and Doug Basic Skills Board

What a clever idea for teaching children the basic skills needed for dressing themselves. This ingenious wooden toy challenges kids to dress the smiling bear with the clothing provided on separate wooden blocks. Each item of clothing required children to master a particular skill, including zipping, buckling, lacing, snapping and buttoning. Learning isn’t always this much fun and so satisfying.

This useful toy also helps children with coordination and the development of fine motor skills.
