More eyelets and a long lace let children progress from simple threading to tying a bow—just like on real shoes.
Threading, tightening, and tying develop fingers, grip, and hand–eye coordination, while building patience and focus.
The stable wooden design is ideal for everyday practice at home or in preschool. Safe edges and quality workmanship last for years.
The MELISSA & DOUG wooden lacing shoe helps children aged 3+ master an essential skill—tying their shoes independently. Thanks to its stable wooden body, multiple eyelets, and textile lace, kids can practice different threading methods and knots, from simple lacing to a bow.
The toy also supports the development of fine motor skills, concentration, and logical sequencing. It’s ideal for home use or as a teaching aid in preschools. The surface is smooth and pleasant to the touch, and the shoe’s size fits perfectly in small hands.
