Bright as a button


My coat has three different buttons. Sometimes I do them up starting with the top button. Sometimes I start somewhere else.
How many ways can you find to do up my coat?
What if my coat had four buttons?

      I think there may be more ways. So far we have:
      top, bottom, middle
      middle, top, bottom
      bottom, middle, top
      Are there any more?

    The diffrent ways you can do is start at the bottom to the top and then start at the top to the bottom a different way you can do is start at the top to the bottom to the middle and then you can start at the bottom to the top to the middle so one.

    You can start in the middle then go up and do the bottom one last and also do the bottom. One then go on the first one and then do the middle one.

    You can start doing the buttons from the middle of the coat.
    You could start from the second button of the coat.
    You could start from the top button on the coat

    You can do them starting from the middle top then bottom or from the top then to the bottom and the middle. If I had a coat with three button you can put it up to down.I would put them down to the top.

    You can start in the middle and the top and the bottom. If you have four buttons you can start In the first one at the bottom and the second one the third one and the fourth one
