Putting on shoes: Left and Right

Here is a quick and easy way to help your child who is learning to put their shoes on independently.  

Putting on shoes: Left and Right - A simple tip using a sticker cut in half.

I simply cut a sticker in half and place the half stickers onto the shoes.  Mr 3 matches the picture together and then puts his shoes on the correct feet.  This is an ordinary sticker (not a special shoe sticker) and when it wears out it is cheap and easy to replace.

Choose a sticker that is clear and obvious for matching together. You might have a dinosaur head and their tail, a teapot handle and spout, an elephant trunk and the elephant body, a ballerina, etc.

This simple tip will help those who have not learnt the subtlety of the left and right sides of shoes or feet.

Will a sticker help your child to put on their shoes?
