Kids love craft projects, and what could be more fun than making your own sock monkey? Etsy seller Sillysockmonkeys offers a kit that allows you to do just that. Original Rockford red heel socks, stuffing, eyes, nose, and much more, plus all instructions, are included. You and your child can have fun putting together your own sock monkey with just scissors and a sewing machine. Great gift idea as well. Check it out at Sillysockmonkeys.com, where the kit sells for $13.50. Not the creative type? You can buy a pre-made sock monkey at the same shop for $40 if you prefer.

If you’re looking for a great way to keep the kids busy, this is the product for you! Peace Monkey’s Do-it-yourself Tees are a great way to boost creativity and have them really express themselves. These black, long sleeve t-shirts have a “blank canvas” that is either pink, blue or green on which you kid can draw or write whatever she wants whether it’s a flower, spider or a story!

You’re child will have a huge sense of accomplishment after designing her very own shirt and will probably never want to take it off! They’re available in a range of sizes from 2T-6T and are available at lalaling.com. They go for $30 each; I ordered 3 because I have a feeling my daughter’s going to want to draw more than just 1!
