Tie Buddies Review and Giveaway- CLOSED

December 13, 2010 By Sonya

Do you have a little one who wants to tie their own shoes? For most this is not an easy task to learn. That is until Tie Buddies were invented by Wendy Welling, a mother of two.

What are Tie Buddies and why should you use them?

“Tying your shoes is a small but essential skill, one you use for the rest of your life. These cute, kid-friendly devices act as easy pull-tabs for small hands, taking messy loops out of the equation. The happy characters make a game of it, resulting in a strong knot and even stronger recall.”

Did you know that with Velcro and slip-on style shoes the average age of children learning to tie shoes their own shoes has increased to as late as 9 or 10. I know that my boys wear Velcro shoes all of the time. I am guilty too.

Tie Buddies^® offer children ages 3-9 the independence of tying to tie their own shoes while quickly teaching them a method which is based around characters and stories depicted on the Tie Buddies^® themselves. Since I have boys, I picked the car design and they are just adorable.

What did this mom think?
I think they are great. I played around with them and my boys were interested for sure. I have no doubt these will help my boys learn to tie their shoes. Definitely better than me attempting to teach the old “make a loop and wrap it around method.” I am a fan for sure. Yes, I would recommend them to other moms. They are recommended by Kindergarten teachers everywhere too
