Teach your kids to tie shoelaces

Tie shoelaces with the bunny-ears method:

1) Take an end of the shoelace in each hand and cross the laces over one another. Thread one lace under the other and pull tight.

2) Make a generous loop with each side of the lace. The loops should resemble a pair of bunny ears.

3) Holding the loops firmly, cross them and feed one under the other. Pull tight.
