The Colour range of socks is vast. We picked up a selection of plain colours that was available locally.
Blues - Butterflies, Space men,
Greens - Caterpillars, Frogs and Dragons !
Red - Lady bugs
Browns - Bears, Rabbits, dogs,
Silvers and grey - Mice and Space ships !!
White - use crayons to draw and decorate the socks before filling.

Use everday spoons to fill the socks with sand.
For younger children who may struggle with the sock's opening use a cookie cutter, plastic ring cut from a circular bottle or a Parcel tape tube to hold the sock open.

Sand Sock Bag
Using this storage bag pattern on Stitch Squirrel's page make a holder for all your Sand pit socks !
This will help keep them all in one place when not in play and also help the children to know that some socks can be for sand play whilst others are for our feet!

Role Play Sand Socks
If you have some foam sheets or coloured card and would like to make your own characters these are 2 ideas ..
Secure the pieces in place with a glue gun, by sewing or use some double sided tape.
Sticky stuff and sand doesn't always mix well so be prepared for bits to drop off !!
Have fun ...
