Shoes may be on your back-to-school list, but what about shoe-tying? Here are some activities to get your little one working on the underlying skills needed to be successful with shoe tying! Fine Motor Tricks and Tips The OT Toolbox https://www.theottoolbox.com/shoe-tying/

Shoe Tying...It's been in our inbox recently!

"Shoe tying is a rite of passage for many children. In school, kids are often encouraged to learn to tie their shoes in kindergarten, but that can be a real struggle for many students, developmentally.

Shoe tying requires many underlying skill areas that just aren’t developed at 5-6 years old. In the blog post below, we’re breaking down shoe tying into activities to promote this functional task, shoe tying crafts, and resources to develop this functional skill.

You’ll also find shoe tying styles, tying shoes videos, and more strategies that you can use to help kids develop this functional task."

SHOE TYING RESOURCES 👟👟👟👟
"If teaching kids to tie their shoes is something that makes you want to give up and buy a pair of Velcro shoes, then you are in the right place. Below, you will find shoe tying resources for the therapist helping kids to work on the skills that go into successful shoe tying. You will find activities to build the underlying skills that kids need to tie their shoes. You will find shoe tying tips. And, you will find activities to make shoe tying practice fun."
