Laces on children’s shoes may seem like an inconvenience because tying them takes patience and time. However, laces offer practice for your child in developing his/her fine motor skills. By tying up laces rather than strapping on Velcro, your child could strengthen his/her fingers and become better equipped in activities like grabbing a pencil and writing.[1]

Make an investment in your child’s fine motor skills by choosing laces over Velcro sneakers. The active practice will not only provide finger strength and control, but can also give your child a great sense of accomplishment!
