Sappy is so used to velcro shoes, the old tying of shoelaces seems to be difficult now. However, teaching sappy and yourself to tie your own shoelaces, is a simple task and it will also improve your cognitive skills.
The whole twisting and turning and the complicated tying of the bunny ears might look like a challenging task to accomplish, with this step by step guide we can help him out.
First, the traditional way of tying shoelaces.
Traditional Method
Step 01
Take one lace in each hand and cross it over to make an X. Put one of the ends into the bottom part of the X and pull the two ends tight.
Step 02
Now make a loop out of each lace, resembling a bunny ear.
Step 03
Next, is to make the two bunny ears cross over each other to form an X.
Step 04.
Now put one bunny ear jump into the bottom part of the X (just like step 01, instead of the lace, now it is the bunny ear).
Step 05.
Now pull both the ears tight, so that its proper knot.
Now in case you have difficulty in understanding the steps above like sappy, we at AppyKids have found a trick to make it easier.
Easy method
Step 01
Take one lace in each hand and cross it over to make an X. Put one of the ends into the bottom part of the X and pull the two ends tight.
Step 02
Repeat the process again, cross the laces to make a X, put one of the ends into the bottom of the X but just leave it loose and don’t pull the two ends tight.
Step 03
Now take one end of the shoelace back into the centre. just so much that it is halfway (you can see the bunny ear is loosely formed)
Step 04
Repeat step 03 with the other lace end too, so that in the end there are two bunny ears loosely formed.
Step 05
Now catch both the bunny ears together and pull them tight!
