Easiest way to teach kids to tie shoes

I had a huge response from friends this summer when I posted pictures on Facebook of how I had my kids learn to tie their shoes. I don’t know if your kids are like mine but sometimes they don’t want to listen or learn from me. Guess what they do love? They love to do anything with the older boys down the street and look up to them like crazy.

Well, when my neighbor mentioned her 10 year old son was into earning money, I had a brilliant idea (these are few and far between for me, ha!). I paid her son and his friend $5 per kid to teach my boys to tie their shoes. They had to prove to me that they had learned by each of my boys tying their shoe for me by themselves and they earned their $5.  It took about 30 mins for my boys to learn and they were in heaven with so much one on one attention from the older boys.

My neighbor said those boys were super happy to bike to the store right after with their $5 to get a treat. Is this not the easiest way to teach kids to tie shoes ever? I’m happy, my boys are happy and neighbor’s boys are happy. Win – Win – Win!

Here is what we used to use…
