This study examined how children remove their shoes from the aspect of their manipulation and posture on the terrace of a nursery school.
The shoe-removing behavior was categorized into 7 types. The manipulation was classified into removing shoes by hand such as shoving their fingers into the shoes, and by foot such as rubbing their feet together or pushing their heel against the side of the terrace. The posture was observed sitting, crawling, holding on to something in order to stand, and standing. The development suggests the children's continuous effort to incorporate new manipulation and posture factors in order to remove their shoes.
