Learn to Tie Bows on Stuffed Animals

Thanks to the wonderful inventor Velcro shoes I have not had to teach my kids to tie their shoes yet. To be fair, I have tried to show them on shoes before without much luck; they just weren't interested. But at 5 and 6, I think it is about time they learn, with or without shoe laces!

My solution a stuffed animal bow tying clinic! I brought out some cute ribbon remnants and had the girls bring in some of their stuffed animals. Their job, give each animal a bow; what little girl could resist!

My oldest picked it up pretty quick, but it took her sister a little longer. Still all the animals ended up with bows and some of them had tried on several!

I am sure it will take a few more bow tying clinics to really get it down, but this was a great solution to getting them interested in tying bows!

1 tip when using ribbon is to try not to use the super satiny ribbon because it can be slippery and not hold knots well making it frustrating to work with!
