Putting shoes on the correct foot is a much more complex for children to master than most of us think. But we've got some genius tricks – with pics and a video guide – that will help your child learn which shoe goes on which foot
Your child may be physically able to put shoes on by 24 months or so . But being able to get the right shoe on the right foot is another matter entirely.What's tricky about putting shoes on the correct foot is understanding – and then being able to recognise – that shoes are shaped slightly differently for each foot, and then being able to follow through on that to work out which shoe is shaped for which foot.
Some of our hacks do require an ability to recognise letters or a willingness to mark the shoes with marker pen but there are plenty of others for much younger children and which use stickers or clips, instead of marker pen – and they're all really easy to teach to your child.1. The binder clip shoe hack
This means, when your child picks up their shoes to put them on, they're already lined up correctly and there's no danger of them getting muddled up while they make the journey to the floor in front of your child's feet. When your child's ready to put the shoes on, you can unclip the clip.This is a great one for a child who can recognise their name when it's written down – although if their name has a lot of letters, you may struggle a little to fit them all in.
Choose a sticker featuring an animal or character your child loves and cut it in half, vertically. Stick the left-hand half of the sticker into the lower inside sole the of their left shoe; stick the right-hand half of the sticker into the lower inside sole of their right shoe . Now all your child has to do is position their shoes so that the arrows point towards each other, and they'll have the shoes lined up ready to put on correctly.This hack is super-simple but you do need shoes with light-coloured soles – and you need to be happy about making a permanent mark on them. Alternatively, you could pop the dots on the fabric inside the shoe instead.
Then, with a marker pen, make a small dot on the side edge of each shoe's sole, about halfway down . Underneath the dot on each shoe, draw a line that curves up slightly towards the fabric of the shoe . The around the dot and the curved line on each shoe, draw a semi-circle with the open end at the 'floor' edge of the sole .
