Velcro Frame
Velcro is very commonly found on things like children’s shoes, coats, and bags. In Montessori, we teach children to do up and undo velcro using a special Montessori Velcro Frame. You can buy Velcro Frames for your Montessori class here and you’ll be supporting this site.
It is important for children to be self-reliant and with this Practical Life activity children will gain confidence and discipline to master the art of doing up and undoing velcro on their clothing. No longer will the child need mum or dad to help them do up velcro shoes.
It is a lot easier for children to be able to do this task using a Velcro Frame rather than on their body itself. Once the Velcro Frame has been mastered, then they will be very ready to use velcro on their clothes or bags.
