Here is another way to make shoe tying less of a struggle. I'm excited to introduce another fantastic tool that can truly revolutionize your child's journey to lacing independence: Tie Mates! As a pediatric OT, I'm always on the lookout for products that simplify complex tasks for little learners, and Tie Mates laces are ones I’ve used for a couple years and love how kids take to them.
One of the biggest challenges with learning to tie is finding consistent practice opportunities without the fuss of taking shoes on and off. Tie Mates solves this beautifully! It comes with a cute little practice box that holds the laces, meaning your child can practice their tying skills anywhere – no shoes required! This portability is amazing for keeping practice fun and accessible, whether you're at home, waiting at an appointment, or even on the go. Plus, the box features two suction cups so you can easily attach it to a window or wall, creating a dedicated, eye-level practice station.
Tie Mates also features a brilliant design detail: each lace has a different pattern or color on each half. This visual contrast is incredibly helpful for new learners. It makes it so much easier for your child to see and distinguish which lace is crossing over the other, simplifying the initial steps and decreasing confusion. This visual feedback is crucial for building confidence and understanding the sequence of tying.
And here's where Tie Mates really shines as a motivational tool: it comes with crayons and a special certificate! Once your child has mastered the skill, you can celebrate their achievement with a tangible reward, making the learning process feel like a fun accomplishment.
