Up to this point I hadn't considered teaching my preschool aged daughter how to tie her shoes. For one thing, she wears shoes with Velcro straps. Also, I myself learned to tie my shoes in kindergarten, and I guess I thought I'd wait until she turned 5 to start teaching her. I never realized that some younger kids do possess the motor skills needed to tie their own shoes, and a new product called Tie Buddies can help.
Just recently we had the chance to test out the girl version of Tie Buddies. According to the website children ages 3-9 can learn how to tie their shoes using this fast and easy method for teaching the tying skill. Tie Buddies are special tabs you thread onto the shoe laces. Children grasp the tabs and don't have to worry about making their own loops to tie the bow. By following the simple step-by-step directions provided on the packaging (a modified bunny-ear method), parents and educators can teach children how to tie faster and without as much confusion.


Boy - Red and Green Race Cars (Blue Color)
Girl - Fairies and Magic Wand (Pink Color)
Each set retails for $7.95. Visit www.tiebuddies.com for more information. The Tie Buddies website features two special story ideas you can use to help your child remember the steps.

I just pulled out a pair of lace up shoes for my 4 year old boy in hopes to teach him and he quickly reverted back to the velcro. This looks like a great incentive to get him to learn. We'd like the cars style. Thanks!
I would love to win the girl one..thanks!
