New version of the K's Kids award winning Learning Shoe.
These shoes encourage kids to learn all the 6 dressing skills: shoe lacing, buckling, snapping, velcro tearing, buttoning and zipping.
Children can wear the shoes on their little feet and learn at the same time.
Who can stop them from walking around to show off their dressing skills?*
* The shoes are not walking shoes and should be used only at home with parental guidance.
Senses
The fundamental senses of seeing, tasting, hearing, smelling & feeling encourage a child's curiosity.
Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills are those smaller actions between the thumb and fingers or using the toes to wriggle and feel the objects.
Gross Motor Skills
Gross motor skills are larger movements involving the arm, leg, or feet muscles or the entire body.
Logic
Logical training enables babies to make connections between pieces of information.
Creativity
Colors, shapes, learning how to draw, getting familiar with music and rhythm, all goes to aid the growth of a child's creativity.
Linguistics
Linguistic Intelligence is the ability to use sound and language for expression and comprehension of others while a child is developing.
Emotion
A healthy child should be able to control and express his emotion, and interact effectively with others with mutual trust.
Communication Skills
Good communication skills lead a child to perform cooperative tasks and become productive team members.
Self-Esteem
Self-Esteem is an overall sense of achievement a child feels from the important people around him. Task basis activities could help children to build up a stronger self-esteem with a better judgment about their own worth.
*These are recommendations made under normal circumstances. Parents can determine which activities are most suitable depending on the progress of individual children.
