Teaching Kids to Tie their Shoes (CLOSED)

We've got another awesome, kid-approved trial just in time for back-to-school!

I have a little one who has been eager to tie his shoes, and determined to do it his way. Now, thanks to Tie Buddies, he's raising the white flag and giving me a chance to teach him the right way to tie.

It's a win-win for both of us--he gets to have a little fun and I don't have to stress over rabbit ears, rabbit holes and all the other little details that typically leave us tangled in knots. Instead, these neat pull-tabs make it easier for tiny fingers to learn the art of tying without worrying about the loops. It's resulted in a huge confidence boost for a very independent boy who was determined to do it on his own!

From the website:

Tying your shoes is a small but essential skill, one you use for the rest of your life. Help your little one learn faster with Tie Buddies®. These cute, kid-friendly devices act as easy pull-tabs for small hands, taking messy loops out of the equation. The happy characters make a game of it, resulting in a strong knot and even stronger recall.

Donovan and I are happy to give it 5 mamas:

{1} We loved it. {2} It was kid approved. {3} It delivered what was promised. {4} At $8.99 it's worth the price. {5} It is definitely unique and creative.
