Let's Tie Our Own Shoes

I have noticed that several students still don't know how to tie their own  shoes. Here is one way that might work to help them.

How To Tie Your Shoes:

Magic Fingers Style

Step 1

Cross the laces like normal

Step 2

(Right Hand) Put your thumb and first finger in front of lace – fingers facing toward you

(Left Hand) Put your thumb and first finger behind lace – fingers facing away from you

 Step 3

Pull your fingers forwards so you feel some tension and twist a little so that your fingers are facing each other. 

Step 4

Pinch the laces in between the opposite fingers

Step 5

Pull through

Step 6

And you’re done!
