蒙特梭利木製穿線靴

My three-year-old asks to practice tying her shoes on this every morning, and I love that the wooden base is sturdy enough to survive her enthusiasm. The 7-inch size is just right for small hands to grip while they work on that tricky lacing motion.

My four-year-old asks to “tie my shoe” every single morning now, and I’ve watched her little fingers get so much more precise with the laces. The 7-inch size is perfect for her lap, and the wood feels sturdy enough to survive being dropped a dozen times a day.

The lacing board is the perfect size for little hands, and my son finally gets the concept of crossing the laces before he even tries it on real shoes. Took a few days of practice, but now he does it solo without getting frustrated.
