Is your student struggling with tying shoes? Some kids have trouble because of motor skills or coordination challenges. Others can’t remember the order of the steps or struggle with following directions. No matter why your child is having difficulty, this unique shoe-tying method can help your child learn to tie shoes on his own.
Let's start with...
Start with a cardboard egg carton.
Make the holes for the laces. We can use scissors or anything sharp that can cut the carton.
Grab a set of shoe laces. Using two different colors is best for new shoe tying friends.
Tie the laces together at one end and thread them through the holes of the egg carton.
Start lacing the holes the whole way up the egg carton.
Threading the holes is an excellent fine motor task for kids
