What problem does it solve?
Getting dressed can be frustrating when little fingers are still learning buttons, buckles and ties. This sensory activity board gives your child a place to practice those fiddly steps outside the rush of getting ready, so you can spend time exploring each movement together.
The felt activity board brings everyday fastening activities into playtime, at home or while traveling. It offers a hands-on way to work on dressing skills without turning every practice session into an outfit change.
