I was never the parent who like any milestone needs to be rushed. For my kids I just always felt all things come in time and when a child is truly ready……shoe tying is definitely on that list. One thing I love about blogging is being able to share knowledge, ideas and thoughts in one community. Thanks @ShereeAdams of Smart & Sassy Mom, who shared a DIY she found on #Pinterest my 5 yo DD is a shoe tieing maniac!
The steps are super simple, cardboard, pair of sneakers/shoes, pencil, marker and screwdriver (for adult use only), a pair of shoelaces……You can find the instructions here: Shoe Tying

Great idea! For teaching tying directly on the child’s own shoe try Loopeez Shoe Tying Aid and Loopeez bi color laces. By attaching to laces kids learn to tie in minutes. The bi color laces allow kids to see the left/right lace eliminating confusion. They work, they are affordable and super cute!
