Instructions
1. Ask each child to bring in a pair of socks from home.
2. Encourage the children to choose pompoms, fabric scraps, and other materials
to put on their socks.
3. Using a hot glue gun set on a low temperature, attach the items onto the children's
socks (adult only).
4. Encourage the children to use paint pens to decorate the socks. They can
create dots, squiggly lines, or other designs on the sock.
5. If desired, help each child write his name on the crazy socks using the paint pens.
6. Allow the socks to dry for about five hours. Then, wear them with pride!
