Help your child learn to tie shoes by using items you have around the house.

Materials

Directions

1

Trace a pair of shoes onto a cardboard square.

2

Make a straight line on the cardboard for the toe design at the top of each shoe. Draw eight to ten dots on each shoe outline for the lace holes.

3

If your child would like to paint the board, do so now and allow it to dry.

4

Lay the cardboard on top of your second cardboard square for support. Then cut out the lace holes with the screwdriver by pushing and twisting or spinning the screwdriver. Note: ADULTS ONLY.

5

Thread the shoelaces through the holes, then watch your child practice tying!
