Vintage Midcentury German Wooden Learning Toy | Lace Up Practice Shoe

Bright, bold, and wonderfully nostalgic, this charming wooden learning toy was designed to help children master the art of tying their shoelaces. Shaped like a colourful trainer and topped with a cheerful yellow cat peeking out from the tongue, it features real eyelets and a vibrant red laces, ready for little hands to practice over and over.

Likely dating to the 1970s and made in Germany, this toy combines play with skill-building in a way that feels delightfully old-school. Whether styled on a shelf in a child’s room or added to a vintage toy collection, it’s a joyful piece of design with real heart.

Sourced in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin.
