ABSTRACT:
A training toy for helping children learn how to lace their shoes and also to enhance or improve their fine motor skill (eye/hand coordination). The shoe-configured toy includes a series of adjustable diameter eyelets disposed upon the forward slope of the toy and an open or hollowed out central area for storage and ease in use. The toy is mounted on wheels, and the training shoe string can also be used to pull the toy about on its wheels. The diameter adjustment system for the eyelets includes a set of longitudinally slidable plates with different diameter eyelet openings which can be moved into the eyelet areas to alter the effective diameter of the eyelets. An alternate system (FIG. 5) includes a coiled spring element whose outer end is moved in and out to change its effective diameter.
