DIY: Learn how to make this really cool ‘sock-topus’ with the kids

The Doseum Voyage to the Deep exhibit to run through Sept. 25

SAN ANTONIO – Are you looking for something to do around the house with the kids?

In the DIY video above, SA Live’s Jen Tobias-Struski shows you how to make a sock-topus, as well as how to discover ways to recycle household items. The activity is great for kids aged 0 to 4.

If you want to get out of the house, The DoSeum’s Voyage to the Deep traveling exhibit gives kids a chance to venture through the world below the waves. It includes the octopus’ garden, with its giant clamshell, and a giant squid to slide down before wandering through the maze of seaweed in the kelp forest.

Items you’ll need for the sock-topus:

  • One Sock (crew length)
  • Poly-fill or cotton filling
  • Zip tie (one per sock-topus)
  • Glue
  • Marker
  • Scissors
  • Optional: Googly eyes, ribbons and other materials to decorate your sock-topus

Follow the steps below in the PDF to make your very own sock-topus.

Want to show off your sock-topus? Tag @TheDoSeum on Facebook or Instagram and use #DoSeumAtHome.

The DoSeum will be offering free family nights on the first Tuesday of every month.
