Getting dressed step by step with pictograms

Six cards in the order the clothes go on: top, trousers, socks, shoes, jacket – and ready. Print the sheet for free, or make the routine with your own child.

6 cards, one step at a time

Nora puts her clothes on in the same order every time. The fixed order is what makes a child independent.

Nora, the figure on the cards

Make this routine personal

These cards show Nora. With an account you make the same steps with your own child from one photo – or keep Nora to start straight away. The photo stays in Pictofy.

What parents ask

Which order is right?

The one you always use. These cards show the top before trousers so the trousers do not have to go up over a loose top. Swap if your order differs.

What about underwear?

Put it on top of the pile without a card, or make your own card with an account. The ready-made cards do not show children in underwear.

The child refuses the jacket – do cards help?

Often. The jacket is the last card, and the child sees that 'ready' comes right after. That is easier than arguing about the jacket.
