Make it easy and fun for children to practice self-care, foster independence, and build self-confidence with the help of these step-by-step photographs by Montessori teacher Saniyyah Kahalilallah.

With a toddler-sized hairbrush, a mirror hung at the right height, and the step-by-step photos in I Did It Myself!, children ages 2 to 5 are well on their way to mastering self-care skills. From getting dressed to washing hands, brushing teeth, and applying lotion, each activity fosters independence, builds concentration, helps develop motor skills, and encourages responsibility. Inspired by the Montessori curriculum, the unique book format features an interactive skills chart included on the inside back cover, with sturdy sliding windows for each activity. This offers children the perfect incentive to make self-care a daily routine as they complete each activity, slide the window, and confidently declare, “I did it!”
