I quite agree. There are many real nice toys out there which allow children the oportunity do develop motor skills. Not to mention a multitude of other things which can be used to learn to tie a simple bow.(I remember being proud when I successfully tied on that cover my mom insisted on putting on the toilet lid). Besides the only reason kids would have to wear shoes which tie is because they don't make Birkenstocks small enough. Annadiana Beaver A Beaver@Tektronix
