Fastening Shoe Lacing

The Fastening Shoe Lacing Dressing Frame is a classic Montessori practical life activity designed to teach children the skill of tying and untying shoelaces. By practicing with this frame, children develop patience, concentration, and fine motor control while gaining independence in an essential life skill.

The exercise encourages logical thinking as they follow the sequence of lacing and tying, preparing them for everyday self-care tasks such as fastening their own shoes.

This activity also strengthens hand muscles, sharpens hand-eye coordination, and promotes confidence as children master each step of shoe lacing in a fun and hands-on way.
