Button frame
What your child practices
The movement of buttoning: a button goes under the far flap, up through its hole, and back out the same way. Every row is the same, so the movement is the only thing to notice.
How to use it together
Show it once: take the top button, slide it under the far flap to its hole, let it come up through, then the next, slowly and without talking. A button let go too soon, or taken to another hole, is pulled back by the cloth. There is no need to point this out. When all five are fastened they sound down the row, and they can be undone and done again.
