ABSTRACT:
A bi-colored teaching and fashion shoelace is provided for assisting children and handicapped persons with all the difficult tasks associated with the wearing of footwear having laces. The teaching shoelace is provided with opposite end sections which are fabricated from differently colored fabrics which can be readily distinguished by children and the handicapped. The opposite end sections of the shoelace are interconnected by various fastening memos to permit the interchange of any number of differently colored end sections. The use of contrasting bright colors or patterns enables the instructor to create simple instructions based upon the dissimilar color characteristics of the training shoelace. By repetition the child or student learns to recognize characteristic color patterns when the shoe is properly laced and subsequently when a bow knot is properly formed. In addition to learning all the necessary skills involved in wearing footwear having laces, the present invention provides an opportunity for creative play through the use of aesthetic patterns and colors intended to be pleasing to a child as well a physically or mentally impaired adult. The bi-colored shoelace of the present invention may also be utilized as a sales attraction to the child and his parents seeking to purchase shoes which may be color coordinated to match a particular clothing outfit as a fashion accessory.
