Button! Snap! Zip!: Learn everyday skills BB by Nicola Edwards

This hands - on board book is a great tool for kids. Starting from opening the hook - and - loop fastener to access the pages, it teaches children how to use various fasteners like snaps, buttons, and zippers. In an engaging and friendly way, it helps develop fine motor skills and lets kids practice weather - appropriate independent dressing. Inspired by the Montessori education method, it uses a clear, step - by - step approach to teach young readers to fasten and unfasten buttons, zip and unzip zippers, open and close snap fasteners, and tie and untie shoelaces. The 'My World' series, also Montessori - inspired, offers hands - on, practical learning in creative formats for enthusiastic young learners.

To use this book, start by helping your child open the hook - and - loop fastener to access the pages. Then, go through each section where different fasteners are introduced. For buttons, show your child how to put the button through the hole step by step. With zippers, hold the zipper pull and guide your child to zip up and down. For snap fasteners, press them together and then pull them apart gently. When it comes to shoelaces, show the basic tying method. As your child practices, give them positive feedback. Remember to handle the book gently to avoid tearing the pages. If the book gets dirty, you can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe it clean. Keep it in a dry place to prevent damage.
