Make learning how to tie a shoe as easy as 1 – 2 – 3! Our special laces are called Crazy Lacy. Each lace has two colors. The two colors allows you to give instructions to your child as to which end of the lace goes where. For example, the yellow end of the lace goes over the orange end.

A Note to Mom and Dad:

  1. Be patient - while your child learns how to tie, give her time to practice.
  2. Be consistent - while she is learning how to tie, have her always put the yellow end of the lace on top.

    3. Although it is easier for you to tie the shoe for your child, you are giving her an important gift – independence!  She is on her way to becoming a big kid!  It's an exciting time for both of you.
