Your baby is changing every day, growing up and changing the world around him. He is already two years old, two and a half. This time is marked by the child’s active cognitive position: he wants to understand and do everything on his own. The baby is interested in putting on his own shoes, a sweater and a hat. And even if it doesn’t work out cleverly, the feeling of self-importance and significance is satisfied: I am myself!
But the baby does not always know the names of the parts of the clothes that he is trying to put on, so in kindergarten they devote special time to studying items of clothing. And the mother should help the child at home master the names with the help of teaching aids. Our topic: clothes pictures for children.

Preventative children's shoes
Preventive shoes are the correct children's shoes, recommended for healthy children whose feet look the way they should according to their age. Let's look at its signs.
— What materials should children's shoes be made of?
Made from soft, natural, ventilated. Both the upper materials and the “insides” of the shoes should be natural so that the foot does not sweat and there is no irritation of the child’s delicate skin.
— What should the sole be like?
She must be:
- Flexible so as not to disrupt the work of the muscles of the foot and lower leg. Moreover, the sole should bend not just anywhere, but precisely in the place of the joints, where the metatarsus turns into the toes.
- Non-slip to reduce the risk of falls.
- With a roll in the front part, that is, its toe should be slightly raised above the ground. This is necessary for the child to develop a correct gait.
— What should be the toe part of the correct children's shoes?
It should be wide. There should be no tapered toes in children's shoes so that the toes feel free.
— Should there be a heel?
Yes, there should be a small heel of 5-10 mm. Firstly, it prevents the child from falling backward, which often happens in babies. Secondly, it increases the load on the foot muscles and helps train its muscular system.
Sometimes you can see a heel shape like this:
This is Thomas's heel. As you can see, it is extended on the inside to support the midfoot and prevent it from rolling inward.
— What should the backdrop be like?
It must be closed and rigid so that the child’s heel is correctly fixed and does not fall anywhere.
— What should the fasteners be like?
They must be adjustable in order to securely secure the child's leg.
Velcro fasteners are most convenient.
— Do you need an instep support in children's shoes?
An instep support is a small elevation on the inside of the insole, which is located under the longitudinal arch of the foot and “supinates,” that is, it turns the foot outward.
This element is where there is the most disagreement among orthopedic doctors.
My opinion is this: it is not needed in preventive shoes. Why?
- Firstly, it must be located clearly under a certain place of the foot. But often they buy shoes for a child to grow into, and the instep support is not where it should be. This can harm the developing foot.
- Secondly, if you support the place where the arch should form, how can it form? In my opinion, the arch support only interferes with the training of your own foot muscles.
In addition, instep supports are different: small, soft or, on the contrary, hard, high. The latter must be made individually for a specific foot. Soft low arch supports are recommended only in sports children's shoes. During heavy physical activity, it is important to support the longitudinal arch. But if sports shoes are not used for their intended purpose, but to “force” them, then an instep support is not needed. I would call shoes with arch support “therapeutic and prophylactic” and, in my opinion, they should be recommended by a doctor in the initial stages of flat feet in a child.
So, conclusions:
Signs of proper children's shoes designed for a healthy child are:
Natural materials.
Flexible, non-slip, rolling sole.
Wide toe box.
Heel 5-10 mm
Hard back.
Adjustable fasteners.
Lack of instep support. At least in shoes for preschoolers.
Important:
Forced correction of the arches of the feet in children under 6-7 years of age disrupts the process of formation of the child’s foot.
And if a child has, for example, mild flat feet, the doctor will prescribe an insole with longitudinal arch lining for preventive shoes. This is the best option.

How to teach?
How to teach children to put on shoes and clothes correctly? Pictures or cards with items of clothing come to the aid of mothers. You show your child how shoes should be put on (toes of shoes should not point in different directions) and a shirt (buttons buttoned in a row). Then ask your baby to put on and button up his shirt and shoes in the same way. If you can’t do it right away, buy special trainers for lacing and buttoning skills.
Another educational and stimulating method is to partially dress children. The mother puts the socks on her feet, but not all the way: the baby himself must continue. To prevent your baby from having to struggle with getting dressed for a long time, buy clothes with large fasteners:
- on elastic bands;
- with Velcro.
Clothes with zippers and complicated fastenings are unattractive to little ones because they won't be able to handle them right away. Don’t forget to repeat the names of the wardrobe items while dressing:
- let's put on socks;
- let's fasten the buttons on the shirt;
- Are you wearing tights correctly?
If the process of dressing seems too labor-intensive for mother and baby, try training on simulators: clothes for dolls and toys will help with this. It is easier for children to convey basic concepts in a playful way, so while dressing/undressing toys you can easily teach your child to recognize:
- types of shoes;
- names of wardrobe items.
To ensure that the doll’s clothes are put on correctly, the mother points to the pictures and emphasizes the importance of wearing a dress or panties correctly.
A clear example will help your child quickly learn the necessary skills and, at the same time, learn the names and types of clothes.
The baby will first learn how to dress dolls, and then transfer the acquired skills to practice. You don’t have to worry that your little one in kindergarten will have problems walking!
Clothes pictures for children, cards for kindergarten
Teaching preschoolers is much more effective if a teacher or parent uses visual materials. Beautiful pictures of clothes for children, for example, allow you to:
Properly selected illustrations for children provide half the success of any speech therapy exercise, holding the child’s attention and giving him the necessary “tips.”
General principles of working with pictures
What rules should be followed when using pictures for activities with children? There are not many requirements, but all are important:
You can make an excellent demonstration material on the topic of clothing yourself if you print out the illustrations for this article and glue them to a thick base with tape.
How to use pictures correctly in classes and games
If you want to use clothing cards for lessons, it is important to let the children take a good look at them first.
It is useful to play several games (for attention or logic) with illustrations selected for speech practice, which can then be used in class. This gives children the opportunity to get acquainted with the drawings without haste and ask an adult questions about what they saw. The following techniques will be useful:
After such a preliminary “immersion in the topic,” it will be much easier for children to participate in speech games.
Exercises and games - Clothes in English for children
Match the words with the picture
Match the words with the picture. This is the most obvious game, but it is effective.
Guess who?
Guess who? In the picture there are children dressed in colorful clothes, the child must choose someone and describe in a few words what he is wearing, and you try to guess.
Crossword
Crossword. It is possible that the child will not yet be able to spell the word, but at first you can fill in the empty squares; in this case, the child will be required to provide the correct name for the item of clothing.
Coloring pages
Coloring pages. If your child is a creative person, then he should like various coloring options, with and without captions; from some options you can cut out game cards. Or, let's say, you will describe a thing in English, and the child must find this thing in the picture and color it in the right color.
What am I wearing?
What am I wearing? The child is shown a photograph or picture for a certain time, after which the picture is removed, and the child describes what clothes were shown in the picture.
Paired cards
Paired cards. Prepare two sets of cards with the same pictures, on one the signature will be in English, on the second in Russian. When everything starts to work out quickly, the pictures can be made different, for example, a blue cap of one style, and a red cap of another.
Gallows
Gallows. Surely in childhood many played this game with their parents. It can be very coolly adapted to play with English words. Now you have learned a certain number of words with your child, and now think of a word, write the first letter or letter in the middle of the word, and mark the rest with dashes. Let the child guess the letters or the word, but with your clues, for example, this thing is on you. This game will help you better remember the pronunciation and spelling of words.
