Does anyone know a rhyme that teaches children how to tie their shoe laces?

Question

My son is 8, and still asks me for help with tying his laces. I know this is a tricky one for little ones, and I have tried showing him bunny-ears method and al sorts. When I was little there was a rhyme you would say to remind you - went something like over and under through the loop... but I can't remember exactly how it goes. So I would be happy if any of you clever buffs out there can jolt my memory.

Answer 1

Here are a few:


Teepee Tying

Use different colored shoe laces so that you can cue the child on which side they should be working with at a given step In the poem below each line corresponds to one step of the tying process.

Build a tee pee
Come inside
Close it tight so we can hide
Over the mountain
And around we go
Here's my arrow
And here's my bow!

*Practice Time

Jump Rope Tying

My children have an easier time learning to tie their shoes by starting with something larger than a shoelace, which requires the use of their fingers instead of their whole hand, at a young age this is more difficult.

I sit the children down and tie a jump rope around their leg, then the learning process of tying shoes is done on a large scale. Once they have the movements down, they easily switch to a shoe lace. This can be taken in the car for practice on trips in addition to practcing at home.

2 Different Colored Shoe Laces

At the ends fuse two different colored laces together forming one shoe string. Lace a old shoe with this shoe string. This gives the children a shoe to practice with two different colored strings so they can see all of the steps.

*Story

Sad Rabbit

Once there was a rabbit that was very sad because his ears were so long and narrow that he stepped on them all the time. One day a fairy landed on the bunny's head. She lifted up the bunny's ears and crossed them over like an x. Then she put one ear through the bottom of the x and pulled.

Next, she made each long ear into a loop and made another x like before. She put an ear under that x and pulled again. From then on the bunny remembered how to tie his ears into a bow, and he lived happily every after.

Teepee Tying Story

A Native American made a teepee (pull lace up and cross one under the other) and it collapsed! (pull first "knot" down). So he started another, (make first loop for bow) and he took this string and went around it, (wrap other lace around loop) and went inside, (push lace under new loop) and there he had it! Two Tents! (pull loops for bow) .

This story is great for a group activity where the children can help one another follow the story, and if you make pictures to go with the story the kids can follow the steps by themselves! The story also helps to limit the child's frustration with learning to tie because they are helping the Native American to build a teepee and if they fail it is the Native American who needs more help!

A Story For Tying Shoes

My Shoelace Blues I've tried and tried to tie you, shoe. I've never done it yet. A loop that flip-flops on the floor Is as close as I can get. I've practiced on spaghetti. I've practiced on the mop. I've practiced on my sister until she made me stop. So here's the loop again, shoe. I'll hold it with my thumb. I'll wrap the other end around... And yank it into bows. It's done!

Answer 2

Criss Cross and go under the bridge
Then you got to pull it tight.
Make a loop but keep a long tail
That is how to do it right
Then you take the other string
and you wrap it 'round the loop
Pull it through the hole
Now you got the scoop

Learning to read at a young age is important for the development of the child. It helps them develop a better understand of their surroundings, allows them to gather information from printed materials, and provides them with a wonderful source of entertainment when they read stories and rhymes. Children develop at different rates, and some children will develop reading skills quicker than other children; however, what's important is that as the parent, you are keenly aware of your child's maturity and reading level to provide them with appropriate books and activities to help them improve.
