Tie Shoelaces Activity

 

I made the pattern of shoes in cardboard and made holes to put the shoelaces.

Learning to tie shoelaces is a tricky fine motor skill for children, but with patience and practice we can teach them to tie their own laces.

The area I am developing through this activity is to encourage children to use their small muscles of the hands, fingers, and wrist. It also helps them to develop hand-eye coordination and attention.
