For this DIY, we’re making a Sock-topus! This art-based DIY allows your kids to express themselves as they design and create a unique sock-topus and discover ways to recycle household items. Once their one-of-a-kind sock-topus is complete they can embark on hours of imaginative play in deep sea adventures, developing story-making skills and supporting language development.
What You’ll Need:
-
One Sock (crew length)
-
Poly-fill or cotton filling
-
Zip Tie (one per sock-topus)
-
Glue
-
Marker
-
Scissors
-
Optional: Googly Eyes, Ribbons, and Other Materials to Decorate our Sock-topus
Building Tips and Tricks:
Fun is the name of the game, and your sock-topus is YOURS to create. Is your sock-topus happy or grumpy, silly or serious? Does it dance or sing? Perhaps it is old and wise, having lived a life of many deep-sea adventures. There is no wrong answer; let your creativity and imagination rule!
