Learning to tie shoelaces is a time-honored childhood rite of passage, but can also be a source of real frustration for children. A kid’s hands and fingers don’t always want to cooperate with his or her brain. As a result, a growing number of parents try to avoid the shoelace-tying experience altogether. The market is full of products that work around the need to teach our children this key skill: velcro, slip-on shoes, elastic straps, faux-laces with stretch bands sewn into the shoes, and “Speed Laces” among others. But eventually, we have to get to those dreaded shoes with laces.
At Sliderties™, we’ve created a shoelace-tying system that focuses on the best ways that children learn new skills. By combining our primary colored sliders with the Sliderties™ rhyme, we make it fun and easy to learn to tie shoelaces. Enjoy our brief instructional video as we guide you through the simple step-by-step process of helping your child take this most important step towards their continued independence. And don’t forget to print out your Sliderties™ Diploma once your child becomes our next graduate!
