From 2 years of age, children enjoy trying to button and unbutton their jacket. The clothing of the children at this stage should have the form which fits their motor skills so as to develop their interest in buttons and to help their study in manipulating buttons. We observed processes of dressing and actions of buttoning and unbuttoning at the nursery school, for children in the 3.3-5.9 year range. Also, we experimented about dressing mainly for children in 2 year range to observe the process of manipulating buttons. As factors of experiment, we took two buttonhole directions (vertical and across) and three sizes of buttons (1, 2, 3 cm). The direction of buttonholes was significant at the 5% level. We recognized that buttonholes in the vertical direction were easier for children to button. We came to the following conclusion: for an open front of children's clothing, buttons having a 2 cm diameter and buttonholes in the vertical direction were the best.
从2岁起，孩子们就喜欢尝试扣上和解开夹克的扣子。这个阶段孩子的服装应该具有适合他们运动技能的样式，以培养他们对纽扣的兴趣，并帮助他们学习操作纽扣。我们在幼儿园观察了3.3至5.9岁儿童的穿衣过程以及扣纽扣和解纽扣的动作。此外，我们主要针对2岁左右的儿童进行了穿衣实验，以观察操作纽扣的过程。作为实验因素，我们采用了两种扣眼方向（垂直和横向）和三种尺寸的纽扣（1厘米、2厘米、3厘米）。扣眼方向在5%的水平上具有显著性。我们认识到垂直方向的扣眼对孩子扣纽扣来说更容易。我们得出了以下结论：对于儿童服装的前开式，直径为2厘米的纽扣和垂直方向的扣眼是最好的。
