Fastening Hooks

The Fastening Hooks Dressing Frame is a Montessori Practical Life material designed to introduce children to the skill of fastening and unfastening hooks. This activity requires coordinated movements of both hands—grasping the hook, holding the fabric steady, and securing or releasing the hook from the loop—which strengthens fine motor muscles and improves hand-eye coordination. It also builds patience and concentration as children practice precise control over their movements. The frame includes a removable cloth for easy cleaning and a polished beech wood frame for durability.
