CLOSED...Tie Buddies - Review & Giveaway

What's the worse clothing item you can get for a 3 year old? It shoe's with laces!! What person in their right mind would purchase a tie shoe for a little girl/boy? ME!! Seriously, what was I thinking??

Thanks to Tie Buddies, M was able to try out the Fairy and Magic Wand Tie Buddies. They are wonderful!! M is at least attempting to "tie" her own shoes, instead of always just bringing them to me to do for her. The Tie Buddies are teaching her a little more independence when it comes to putting on her shoes that need tying.

The Tie Buddies actually make it easier for me to tie her shoes and more fun for M as well. She loves the little fairies that accompany her on play dates, to the Zoo or the Children's Museum.

About Tie Buddies:

Tie Buddies™ was born in January 2007 by inventor and mother of two, Wendy Welling. As she lay next to her younger daughter, she kept thinking that there simply had to be a better way to help her children learn to tie their own shoes!

Inspired by both her daughter’s excitement – and their increased feelings of independence as they quickly learned to tie their own shoes – Wendy spent months fiddling with prototypes and ideas until finally perfecting Tie Buddies™. The key was to create cool characters and interactive stories that help the child learn and retain the process and as well as eliminating the frustrating ‘bunny ears or loops’ that just confuse children as they learn.

Thus in April 2007 this mother of two independent shoe-tying daughters created her own company, Widget Works, Inc, and launched Tie Buddies™ into the market.
