For grown-ups
Bow frame
What your child practices
The order of tying a bow: cross, tuck, pull, one loop, the other loop, cross the loops, tuck, pull. Each move is one drag and the next place is marked, so the order is the only thing to follow.
How to use it together
Show it once: cross the lace over, tuck it under and pull, make a loop, make the other, cross them, tuck one through and pull, slowly and without talking. A lace let go anywhere but the marked place goes slack again. There is no need to point this out. A pulled tail undoes the whole bow, as a real one does, so it can be tied again.
