I do in-home daycare and in the one week I've had this set I have 5 out of 10 kids snapping, buckling and zipping that couldn't even do it or show interest in doing these self help tasks until now. The parents have been bragging about these two since I've put out this item.

Cute but not well made
I really like the idea of this product. It's fun looking, and has multiple parts so my kids won't have to fight over it but can use them together. Our bear that teaches to use snaps broke the very first time we used it. Both snaps broke off and this was supposed to be from Santa. Very disappointing.... The rest of it seems to be holding up.

The fact that they all nest together adds an interesting component for the children and it's nice for storage. The fact that they are "cute"-bright and colorful also draws their attention vs. the dressing boards that you can also purchase that do not grab their attention at all. However, I do feel that this will not be chosen on their own, very frequently, but will need to be part of an activity tray or "have-to" to really get the benefits from practicing these skills. I've seen this product for awhile and the price often turned me away. Hoping it will hold up to frequent use of preschool age children. Definitely a plus to be machine washable!!!

I am an occupational therapist teaching dressing skills and find this product entertaining and engaging to children learning. Zipper is plastic and a little flimsy and the lacing is a little difficult as both sides of lace are attached on one corner making it tricky. But overall would buy again, good price too!

I had looked all over the web for this sort of toy. All I could find were a set of boards with jackets on them and they looked boring. The Nesting Dressing Bears are cute and soft and the kids love them. I like them because the jacket don't come off and the shoe string is attached also so no lost parts.
