Mum shares GENIUS shoelace hack for kids
This little boy's shoelace trick has gone viral – and could save you a LOT of time in the morning...
If your child has trouble tying laces – and you're just not getting anywhere trying to teach her or him how – then you need to watch this video.
Because US mum Ashley Lillard has shared her son Colton's simple ‘hack’ for tying those laces super-easily.
5-year-old Colton, who says he learned this trick from his pal River at school, shows viewers step by step how to create the loops using the top shoelace hole on his trainers so that – genius touch – the loops stay in place without you needing to hold onto them.
Because for most kids (and some adults!), the tough bit is keeping the loops in place in your hand, while also trying to finish the tying-up, right?
