Plan Toys Tie-Up Shoe

Children will enjoy learning to tie their own shoes with this Tie-Up Shoe that teaches children how to lace and tie, developing fine motor skills and dexterity of fingers while lacing. With some help from parents, children will learn how to thread laces in and out and create bows!

Toys inspire children's imagination and help them to develop physically and intellectually. Babies can spend hours playing with (and chewing and sucking on!) their toys. Make sure you choose toys that are safe by investing in wood toys colored with natural dyes or organic plush toys instead of the usual plastic that clutters your home. If you must buy plastic, look for it to be BPA free, PVC free, and phthalate free. For more on the benefits of choosing an organic or wooden toy, see our Healthy Baby Guides.
