Why You Should Teach Your Child How To Tie Their Shoelaces
Tying shoes is an important life skill that all children should learn. While it may seem like a simple task, tying your shoes can be difficult for some children. This is why it is important to teach your children how to tie their shoes. Not only will this help them to avoid frustration, but it also helps them to stay safe. After all, tripping over untied shoelaces can lead to falls and injuries. So next time you’re tying your own shoes, take the time to show your little one how it’s done, and use our printable shoe lacing cards to help them get started while having fun!

A little tip: Do you have an old pair of shoes that you do not use anymore? Recycle your old shoelaces! Shoelaces have the tapered end which will make it easier for your kids to lace them through the holes.
Who Can Use Our Shoe Lacing Templates?
There is no definitive answer to this question, as some children are able to tie their shoes at a very young age while others may not be able to do so until they are older. Ultimately, it is up to the individual child and their abilities. Some parents may start teaching their child how to tie their shoes as early as three years old, while others may wait until the child is closer to five or six.
There is no wrong answer, so do whatever feels right for your family!
