“Slipknot Sam is a great instructional book with special shoelaces and a CD Rom to kick-start a difficult developmental task of learning to tie your shoes. I highly recommend Slipknot Sam. The book appeals to children as fun and exciting with the accompanying CD and CD ROM re-enforcing what they are taught in the book. The book offers two ways your child can learn to tie their shoelaces, which is an added benefit. The Bunny Ears method seems to be quite popular with the younger ones. The skill of tying shoelaces requires fine motor skill, concentration and co-ordination. Put these all together and children can be overwhelmed and find the whole task of learning to tie laces daunting. Enjoy Slipknot Sam with your child then let them practice. Before you know it they will be tying their shoe laces without help.”
