Sockmice are easy to make, stuffed animals that you create on the go. It is made of materials that most adventurers probably have in their backpacks. You will need:
- A bandanna
- A (spare) sock that you don't mind drawing a face on
- A Sharpie

Sharpie (I used the jumbo kind) |
HOW TO MAKE A SOCKMOUSE
1. Draw a face on the toe of the sock. Include whiskers, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
2. Stuff the bandanna into the sock, pushing it down as far as possible.
3. Tie an overhand knot in the sock above where you stuffed the bandanna.
4. You just made your first Sockmouse! Give yourself a pat on the back. Then give your little fella a name and personality.

ReplyDeleteSharpies=VERY VERY VERY useful.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like Yoshi's favorite mouse toy! We call it Blue Mouse. What a great invention... I bet cats will like their sockmice even more if you use a slightly used sock... No really, they think our stinky feet smell great. :D - Aunt U
