Tie Buddies Review and Giveaway


Learning to tie my shoes was not a fun experience for me but rather traumatic. I could never get the whole idea of how to tie my shoe. It just would never work. I wanted to tie my shoes but just did not know how. It was not that I did not try, believe me I did it just never took off. When I was in the second grade I could not tie my shoes and tried to wear a pair of Mary Jane shoes with buckles instead of strings everyday. However on those days that I did not wear Mary Jane's I would have to sit out of recess until I tied my shoes. I paid a young friend of mine a quarter every day just so he would tie my shoes and I could play. Well I could of been saved a lot of money and trouble if the Tie Buddies product had been around.
The tie buddies is meant to help young children to tie their shoes. Statistics show that because of the great use of Velcro and slip ons the average age of a child to learn to tie is normally around the age of 9 or 10. Using Tie Buddies could make the average age of children who know how to tie to decrease to age 3 to 9. What a big difference and less life of frustration that would be. One may ask how this can be done though. Tie Buddies use stories and characters to help promote the attention of children learning to tie shoes.
Wendy Welling is a mother of two children who invented the Tie Buddies system when she saw how excited her daughters were to learn to tie their shoes. Wanting to build self esteem in children Wendy knew there was an easier way to teach children how to tie their shoes. To see how easy it is for your child to learn to tie visit this link. Oh what fun you will have using the Tie Buddies system to teach your young one to tie.
