Fox in Socks is a Dr. Suess classic that is filled with tongue twisting fun. Just like the inside of the book says, take it slowly, this book is dangerous! I wanted to get this Fox in Socks activity and printable ready for Dr. Suess Day which is coming up quickly on March 2nd. This Fox in Socks activity is perfect for celebrating Dr. Suess day!

My kids are huge fans of Dr. Suess. I think one of their all time favorites was How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Green Eggs and Ham. Fox in Socks has recently started to take the limelight, though. Who doesn’t love a good Dr. Suess book? I am huge fan of using a book to learn with or do crafts with. It helps make the book more memorable and enforces a love of reading which is so important for kids.

Great for at home fun or a classroom setting

This Fox in Socks activity is great for both at home fun with your child, homeschool preschool, or even a classroom setting. One really fun idea in a classroom setting would be to have each student decorate their sock and then display them on a big cork-board on or a classroom door.

My kids had a blast doing this activity after reading the book and I loved this activity because it was super simple to set up. It’s also great because you can use whatever craft supplies you have on hand to decorate the socks. Nothing special is needed and the below printable is super easy to download.

What reading level is Fox in Socks?

Fox in Socks is great for children anywhere from 3 to 7 years old but this activity is really flexible. Even younger toddlers can take part in decorating their own sock. Just watch out for small craft pieces if you are doing this activity with a younger toddler.

Supplies needed for this activity

For this Fox in Socks inspired activity, you will need:

  • Crayons or markers
  • Glue
  • Craft supplies such as stickers, pom poms, pipe cleaners, sequins, or feathers (use whatever you have on hand)
  • The free printable sock (you can find it below)
  • Scissors (for adults to cut out the sock for the child, if desired)

For our socks we used crayons, pipe cleaners, and sequins. Really, this craft is very flexible so use what you have or what your child likes to craft with.

How to do this activity

Fox in Socks activity and printable

To do this activity, first gather up any craft supplies. You’ll need things like: crayons, markers, stickers, sequins, pom poms, feathers, and pipe cleaners. Really, you can use almost anything to decorate the socks, nothing special is needed just grab what you already have and put it to good use. Next you’ll need to grab the printable below. Print out the sock and have your child decorate it. If desired, cut out the sock for them and then hang it up or display it. I think these socks would look especially cool displayed together if an entire classroom did some.
