How to Tie Shoes

L.,
I sell products for BabyCrazy (we are a home party plan company) and we have a tie-up shoe that our customers have really liked for helping their little ones to learn with. It has bright colors and easy to take places so they can practice on the go. And since it isn't an actual shoe you don't have to worry about getting dirt on their clothes.
Here is the link. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks

We used a book called Red Lace Yellow Lace. It actually has shoe laces in the book with little verses to help your child remember the step-by-step instructions. It worked great for us. Here's a link:

About this time last year, I bought my then-4-year-old a book called What Will I Do If I Can't Tie My Shoe? from Scholastic books. He loved it. He sorta knew how to tie his shoes before starting kindergarten last fall. Not to worry, though... I found out that most kids in his kindergarten class - even those a year older than him (due to his summer birthday) - did not know how to tie their shoes! The teachers don't really expect it but they do expect the children to practice and learn how to do it within a few months. They do work with the children. Double-knotting so the shoes don't come untied at school is a Good Thing. :-)

Hi L.,
I have two boys going off to K in the fall and have to work on this too! I have a book they just love from Usborne Books. It's called Tie-a-bow Book (#503307). It has all of the same characters from some of their phonics favorites in different situations with other visual discrimination challenges along the way. Check out my website at www.ubah.com/b2944 for the online catalog with all kinds of awesome books for his age. I give away as many of these books as I possible can through Home Parties.
Good luck!

We say,

"One little loop, what do you do?
Tie the lace around and pull it through
Now you've made a bow, and you've tied your shoe!"

Just practice. It's hard work being a kid.

Good luck!

I still have the book that I had when I was that age... I remember asking my mom to read it most days... it was my favorite...

the first page says..

I know how to tie my shoe
I take the loop
And push it through.
It's very hard
To make it stay,
Because my thumb
Gets in the way!

The book is called "Tie My Shoe"
a Rand McNally Junior Elf Book -- not sure if it is still out there or not!
