Elastic Lace Shoes

What do you do when the shoes your 3 year old picks has laces? 


Do you teach a stubborn child to tie them? Tie them yourself...all...the...time? Or do you replace the laces?


I opted for the elastic! So EASY! 

Lace the shoes as normal, and tie in a knot!!


the tongue kept slipping down so I stitched the elastic to the tongue in the middle and at the top. I used coordinating blue thread so it would blend right in :)
