Clever Clara's Journey of Self-Discovery Once upon a time in the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, lived a curious and clever 7-year-old girl named Clara. A spirited young girl with big, sparkling eyes that were always full of wonder, a heart full of kindness, and an appetite for learning. Clara lived with her loving parents in a cozy apartment, but she was about to embark on a grand adventure – a journey of self-discovery. The journey began with a simple question: "What are life skills, Mommy?"

Her mother, with a warm smile, replied, "Life skills, my dear, are like magical tools that help us take care of ourselves and others." "Today, let's explore the first skill: dressing ourselves." Clara's face lit up with curiosity. "How can dressing be magical, Mom?"

Clara and her mother embarked on an enchanting adventure through Clara's wardrobe. With each piece of clothing they explored, they learned how to dress properly for different occasions and weather. Sing-Along Song: Dressing Right (Tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star") Dress up, dress up, Clever Clara, For the sun, or rain, or fun. Matching clothes from head to toe, In Lagos, we dress just so. Dress up, dress up, clever Clara Looking bright and feeling fine!

Song 2 (Verse 1) Dress me up, oh so fine, (Row, row, row your boat,) In my clothes, I'll always shine. (Gently down the stream,) Button, zip, and tie with glee, (Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,) I can do it, just watch me! (Life is but a dream.) (Chorus) Dress me up, I'm a star, (Row, row, row your boat,) In my clothes, near and far. (Gently down the brook,) Life skills, oh so neat, (If you see a little fish,) With Clara, it's a treat! (Don't forget to hook.)

Clara's wardrobe was like a treasure chest, filled with tops, bottoms, and accessories. They sorted the clothes into categories, discussing what outfits were suitable for playdays, school, or family gatherings. Clara faced her first challenge: buttons! Those tiny buttons on her shirt seemed like a puzzle. But with practice and her mother's gentle guidance, she learned to fasten them.
