Answer 4

Ah, your question scares me!  My son is 4 and I haven't even thought about shoe tying yet.  Velcro's served us well until now..  

However, I saw a thing at Target a couple of months ago.  It was a picture of two big shoes with big laces to practice tying.  They're longer than your regular shoe laces, so that might be a help...  

Though, you could probably just make one for cheaper.  Buy a pack of shoe laces, punch two holes in a sheet of card board and thread the laces though....  

Answer 5

get a book

Answer 6

Wait. I haven't even attempted to show my 5 year old twins to tie shoes. They wear vans, sandals, or boots all the time. 4 is pretty early to teach kids to tie shoes - especially twins. I know. Don't put yourself through it.

Answer 7

When I was young, my parents had a flat, wooden "shoe" with laces on that my brother and I would practice on. I think I was about 5 when I could tie my own shoes.

Answer 8

my son could not tie a shoe to save his life, then one day he put the shoe on the table and started to tie it. so i say have them try it with their shoes off.

Answer 10

Use the bunny rabbit rhyme. They may still be too young.. Make it a game not a chore. If they do not pick it up drop it for a while and revisit the idea at a later date.. Sometimes kids do not get the hang of it until 7 years of age

Answer 11

show them how you learned
