Parents are loving this training toy that easily teaches kids to tie their shoes in minutes

Melissa Carton

This is really clever.

My daughter is three years old and one of the things that he is currently trying to tackle is tying his own laces.

I’ve taught him my method and my husband has taught him his, but still, the struggle continues.

If you’re like myself and looking for a straightforward and simple way to help your child learn how to tie their laces then look no further, because this handy toy is the perfect way to teach them.

The ‘How to … Tie Your Shoe Laces HB Book and 3D Shoe Model’ set is a practical and fun way to help young children practice and learn to tie their laces.

The book teaches children everyday life skills with illustrated instructions, ‘make-it-yourself’ models and laces for practicing.

It teaches popular criss-cross lacing method including the starter knot, bunny ear bow, loop bow and double knot.

I think this book is a great way to help children with their shoelaces, as it gives them the opportunity to practice over and over again, and also teaches them many different methods.

You never know, sometimes the method mum or dad knows just isn’t the one for them so having a little toy like this is brilliant.

On top of being really useful the ‘How to … Tie Your Shoe Laces HB Book and 3D Shoe Model’ is only €5.99 and is currently available to buy at Smyths.
