How to teach shoe tying

My 5 yo twins will be going to K this year and I'd like to start teaching them.  Any particular method, book, or rhyme you used?  They are supposed to wear shoes with laces for gym class so it's a skill they will need, but I'm sure will have time to master in school if we can't get it done before school starts.  TIA.

    One of my kids actually learned on her robe while wearing it lol.  It was easy for her because it was big and easy for her to see.  Once she got that down she went right on to her shoes.  My other daughter just learned by watching me show her over and over.  Once I knew that my kids were able to tie their shoes I stopped doing it for them (unless we were in a hurry or they got really frustrated etc).  That gave them more practice.

    I am a mom who had the same problem. I was so disappointed with what was available that I developed a product for teaching kids to tie shoes right on the shoe. Check out my website www.loopeez.com. If not I have a million other tricks and tips for shoe tying. Good luck!
