Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
One clean adult-sized sock.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Put a hand inside the sock and bend your fingers to make a pretend mouth.
- Imagine the sock is a shark swimming through the sea.
- Take turns making the shark greet another imaginary sea creature and tell a short story.
Adult checks the sock has no loose pieces and stays beside the child; keep it away from the face.
