I'd forgotten all about the upside down method - we will definitely have to work on that. She can unzip, and zip if the zipper is lined up, but doesn't know how to line it up herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320293 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:24:24 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2320293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD can put it on but I haven't tried teaching her to zip it up. She can unzip it though. She is 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320169 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:33:54 +0000 regberadaisy 2320169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she can put it on, un/zip and take it off. She's done it for a few months and zip before then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320165 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:32:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2320165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She can put it on, but not zip it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320163 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:31:29 +0000 sunny 2320163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter learned the coat flip technique at school too. I forget how old she was -- I think it was before she was 2! I was in total shock she could do that! At 3, she still needs help getting everything zipped up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320055 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:38:17 +0000 Mommy Finger 2320055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They've been teaching my son the same thing at daycare. He just started showing us how. Then again, he does love all of the attention he can get since little brother came along so he'll still ask for help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320041 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:31:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 2320041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: my son learned this at daycare! He's been putting on his own coat this way since last winter!! He needs help zipping though (he's almost 3) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320029 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:26:37 +0000 Jess1483 2320029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I didn't either. I actually googled "putting on a coat upside down" (I learned it from a friend) and then that showed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320024 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:25:26 +0000 Bao 2320024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: No I have not! But now that you mention it that's how the kids would do it at this daycare I worked at, no idea it was the "Montessori way", thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320020 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:24:04 +0000 Jess1483 2320020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS can do it, but doesn't usually. Have you tried this trick?</p> <p><a href="http://themontessorichildathome.blogspot.com/2011/02/putting-on-coatthe-montessori-way.html" rel="nofollow">http://themontessorichildathome.blogspot.com/2011/02/putting-on-coatthe-montessori-way.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-put-on-their-jacketcoat#post-2320013 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:21:02 +0000 Bao 2320013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old still can't put on her jacket or coat by herself. I think they want them to be able to mostly dress themselves in winter gear at school. I know zipping is a little bit out but I would love for her to at least be able to put it on by herself. </p> <p>When did your LO learn to put on a coat/jacket? </p>
