Abstract: An educational device for teaching, training, and aiding a child or mentally-challenged person to lace shoes and tie a shoelace bow is of simple construction and provides easy guidance. The shoe device is composed of a symmetrical flat base approximating the shape of a shoe with two flat panels containing equally spaced holes attached oppositely on the outer edge of the flat base so as to resemble a pair of opposing flaps. Each component is colored using differing primary and secondary colors to focus attention and aid in separating regions of the device for ease of instruction.
