One, Two Buckle My Shoes! (Poem, a tercet)
One, Two Buckle My Shoes! (Photo by Allan Mas on Pexels.com)
One, two, buckle my shoes
the day has yet to come through
a second more, let me snooze!
Three, four, open the door
slumped with backpack on the floor
legs out-stretched to the fore
Five, six, pick up stick
left, right, which is which?
putting them on without a hitch

At what age, do most kids learn to tie their own shoelaces?
My kids made it at about six to eight years of age.
Velco shoes were an easy alternative!

We’re still in the Velcro stage at 6. Not gonna bother about it until 7 or 8. Got enough other things to fuss about. 😆

My eldest struggles with tying laces and will always look out for slip-ons. She is now 17!

My eldest could tie his shoelaces before five years old, while his younger brother would still be in his bedroom in his pyjamas while all the other children were walking by on their way to school! Grandchildren all have Velcro!

Haha…I tie my laces loose enough for me to slip on and off. 😝

Yup for lazy me. Velcro still need to bend. Cos of my spinal issues I learnt short cuts and it works. Dead knots for laces so it does not become undone

My nine year old granddaughter has shoes that are always tied. They have a zipper on the side that lets her get in and out of her shoes. She has never learned to tie shoes.
