Lace Ups - Speed it up!

My son recently got his first pair of lace-ups. He's been heading off to school with double knots tied loose enough to slip in and out of, and coming home with laces trailing on the ground. I guess I've been lazy, I mean how hard can it be right? So we got the shoes out after dinner, my 8 year old, my six year and myself each with a shoe ready to go.

There are two methods of tying shoes right? The kids way - two bunny ears, and the real way - circle the thumb method....Wrong! Enter Speed Lacing - we found this brilliant method on You Tube – not only is it easy to do, it's super fast plus the kids thought it was so cool that they were determined to learn it. See the video below of my six year old demonstrating the method after less than 10 minutes of practice.





Think you can do it? Check out the You Tube video step by step at the link below:
