The kids did an absolute incredible job with these monkeys.Looking for project ideas, I happened on one on the web and immediately knew we had to do this. Off I go to get socks, thread, and stuffing and we're in business.
Though it does look fairly simple, it took a lot longer than anticipated. The kids were all good sport about it and kept at it at a steady pace. The results are nothing short of cute and I'm very proud of what they accomplished. Some of the kids had never handled a needle before.
I've since seen a multiple of sock animals, so next year I might add more choices depending on what templates I can find - and as long as it only take a pair of sock for each.
Material:
- 1 pair socks per monkey
- thread
- needles
- stuffing
- buttons for eyes
Cool Little Critters!
