Sometimes, children have trouble tying their shoes. A mother found a simple trick to help her young son learn how to tie his shoes in just a few seconds.

It only takes a few knots before the laces are tied. The best thing is that they stay tied while the child is wearing the shoes. This is the world’s easiest way to tie any kind of shoe. You start with the shoe in front of you on the floor to learn how to complete the trick. Grab each end of the shoelaces and cross them like usual.

Do that again, which reinforces the lace when it’s tied.

Don’t tighten the second loop all the way. Take one lace and put it through the hole to the opposite end. Take the other lace and put it through the loop to the opposite end. Leave a little bit of lace free instead of pulling the laces tight.

You will now have a set of bunny ears.

Pull the ears tight, and the shoe is tied. This is a fun trick that children can learn in a short time and be on their way to tying their shoes without any help from parents.
