What the child does

Lacing Frame in a child's hands

The Lacing Frame turns doing up a shoe into a calm exercise that can be repeated until it works. A child threads the cord through the eyelets, pulls it even and ties it off, refining the pincer grip, hand-⁠eye coordination and left-⁠to-⁠right sequencing. Standing outside the morning rush, the frame makes a mistake cheap: the cord comes out and the work starts again. Suited to children from three years in a practical life area at home or in a classroom.

Fine motor skills

The child threads the lace and pulls the ends through. This practices fine motor skills and hand-⁠eye coordination.

Lacing and unlacing

The child learns to lace the string and take it out again. This builds dexterity and independence.

Practical life skills

The frame belongs to practical life. The child practices movements that help later with dressing, such as lacing shoes.

Activity Guide

How to present it

Sit next to the child at a table or on the floor and place the frame in front of them.

  1. 1If the lace is threaded or tied, first undo it and pull it out.
  2. 2Thread the lace through the first holes and pull both ends so they are equally long.
  3. 3Work slowly and show each movement on its own, so the child can see what the hands do.
  4. 4Continue with the next holes and take care not to skip any.
  5. 5Finish with a bow and check that both ends are equally long.
  6. 6Then invite the child to repeat the whole process alone, as often as they like.
3 tips for parents
  • Put the frame on a low shelf so the child can take it without help.
  • Let the child repeat the exercise and do not rush them: repetition is part of working with the frame.
  • The goal is not the frame itself but carrying the skill into daily life, for example with their own shoes.
