Ways to get 3yr old dressed for school nursery

Any tips on how I can get my 3yr old dressed in the morning ready for school nursery, can be a real battle, crying out and saying doesn't want to wear his uniform.

I always had to make it a getting dressed race with my DS from ages 3 until about 5. We'd start getting dressed at the same time. Lots of me pretending to struggle getting my socks on or buttoning a shirt the wrong way, undoing it and starting again. I let him win every day. Yes, sometimes it was annoying, but it took about 5 minutes and he thought it was hilarious. He's now 12 and gets dressed like a normal person.

@forkfun that sounds a fab idea, I'm definitely going to give that a try for sure making it into a game is the way forward!

Warm clothes on the radiator. Nothing beats radiator pants on a cold morning.

Maybe it's just us... Grin
