Over and under, then looping it through…look what I can do! Few things will give your child more satisfaction than mastering shoe lacing and basic tying skills. This brightly colored wooden high-top sneaker will make practicing these skills enjoyable while it helps your child reach this developmental milestone. The wooden tying shoe is made of high-quality, hand-painted, durable wood and it's sized right for little ones, measuring a little over eight inches long and five inches high. The lacing shoe comes with an extra-long lace making it easier for little hands to maneuver and tie. The developmental toy is fun to play with while helping kids practice fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and gives them a feeling of accomplishment and independence. The Melissa & Doug Wood Lacing Sneaker makes a great gift for preschoolers ages three months and older, for hands-on, screen-free play. Melissa & Doug products provide a launch pad to ignite imagination and a sense of wonder in all children so they can discover themselves, their passions, and their purpose.
