If you'd like to share the fun of making sock animals, specifically a sock bunny... you'll love this homemade gift idea for sharing sock crafts.

How to Make a Sock Bunny Kit...

Do you want to make this homemade gift idea extra fun and thrifty?

Make your sock bunny activity kits using baby socks, rather than adult-size socks.

For one thing, the baby sock bunnies require a lot less rice than the original sock bunny... this makes them easier to pack in a small jar and more thrifty if you are making several.

Plus baby socks are super inexpensive... If you're a parent or grandparent, you might have baby socks around that are missing their pair or outgrown (baby socks often don't get worn long and tend to stay in pretty good shape since babies grow so fast).

If you don't have baby socks around, dollar stores often have a variety to choose from, often in packages of 3... which will make 6 kits.

Keeping with the theme of re-using baby stuff that you might otherwise throw away... baby food jars also make great gift containers for these little sock craft kits.

If you don't have access to baby food jars, I suggest recycling other small jars (small jelly jars or fancy mustard jars for example), or 1/2 pint mason jars will work.
