You’re done!My son only learned to tie his shoes last summer, when he was 11 years old. His dad took the time to help him while they were visiting. I had tried to teach him how to do it with the rabbit around the tree and and down into the hole method, but apparently I had forgotten how that worked, or was doing it wrong. All I know is he didn’t understand how I tied my shoes my way.My hope is that this short tutorial will be helpful for anyone who has a child who doesn’t tie their shoes for whatever reason.Please let me know if this instructable makes sense, or if I need more pictures. This is my first instructable and I’m doing it as an assigment for a class, so any comments are welcome.
