✅ What You Need:

• Printed shoe template
• Hole punch
• Yarn or shoelaces
• Markers, crayons, or stickers (for decorating the plain template before laminating)

🧩 What To Do:

• Print the shoe template (1 per child).
• Laminate the template.
• Punch holes where the eyelets (lace holes) are marked.
• Let kids decorate their shoe with colors or stickers.
• Give them a lace or yarn to practice threading through the holes.
• Once laced, teach the child how to tie a basic knot or bunny ears bow.

🌟 Benefits:

• Fine Motor Development – Strengthens finger muscles and improves dexterity through lacing and tying.
• Hand-Eye Coordination – Children learn to match movements with visual guidance as they thread and tie.
• Problem-Solving Skills – Encourages patience, persistence, and sequencing as kids work step by step.
• Independence & Confidence – Builds self-care skills and gives children a sense of pride when they can tie their own shoes.
• Cognitive Growth – Reinforces left/right awareness, pattern recognition, and following directions.
• Practical Life Skills – Prepares children for daily routines and boosts readiness for school activities.
