One step at a time
Helping children build confidence and independence.
Milo & Poppy creates inclusive, visual learning resources that help children develop everyday life skills through play, practice and celebration.
Why Milo & Poppy?
Because independence is built one small step at a time.
Getting dressed can involve sequencing, motor skills, language, attention, sensory processing and confidence. Our resources break everyday routines into manageable, achievable steps.
Everyday routines can feel hard
Getting dressed is about so much more than clothes.
For many children, dressing involves sequencing, language, motor skills, sensory processing, attention, confidence and emotional regulation.
School mornings can feel especially overwhelming. Even children who can get dressed independently may find it harder when there is time pressure, tiredness or worry about the day ahead.
Milo & Poppy helps children...
- Understand what to do next
- Build dressing vocabulary
- Practise one step at a time
- Reduce reliance on adult prompts
- Feel proud of every success
