Teaching kids to tie their shoes

[CouponQueen23]

Really cool!! I will try this with my 4 yr old. We are still working on zipping his coat. :/

I never could tie my shoes the "right way." I finally learned using the 2 bunny ear method and do it that way to this day. Due to this fact, I had my parents teach DD and DH will teach the boys. Do you know how embarrassing it is...LOL!

I'll have you know, Anthony Field (The blue Wiggle) ties his shoes the same way. And he is running the single biggest entertainment export in the country of Australia. So bunny ears or super "cool" method...it doesn't matter. What matters is getting the job done.

After watching that on at least 10 differnt videos and getting it a few times, but not really sure how I did, I watched this guy and A lightbulb came on. He goofs around a but at first but his instrutions are crystal clear. (Begining reminds me of an infomerical...lol)

YouTube - How To Tie Your Shoes Really Fast

haven't watched the videos. But there is a Spongebob episode on show tying with directions and a catchy song. I bet it's on youtube or something. It's not just the directions part, but it helps with the "everybody's got to learn this" idea. I seem to remember (it was long ago for me) but the gist is you're not cool if you refuse to try and learn. In a very positive way.
