Magic Shoes
If I had magic shoes
Do you know what I'd do?
I'd skate all over town
and then come back to you.
If I had magic shoes
Do you now what I'd do?
I'd walk right up the wall
and then come back to you.
If I had magic shoes
Do you know what I'd do?
I'd run around the world
and then come back to you.
Shoes Song
( "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Some shoes buckle
some shoes clip
some shoes zip
and zap they rip.
Some shoes Velcro
some shoes tie
some shoes hurt
and some won't tie.
Some shoes seem
like all the rest
But my new shoes
are sure the best!
All Kinds of Shoes
There are all kinds of shoes
For all kinds of feet,
To wear at home
Or out on the street.
There are boots for splashing
And sneakers for dashing.
There are slippers for napping,
And tap shoes for tapping,
There are cowboy boots for riding,
And ice skates for gliding.
But the best shoes of all
Are the ones that fit you
While you're doing the thing
You like to do.

Sock Garden
For each child, you will need an old, large white sock and a small
plastic baggie.
Ask each child to put a sock on over one shoe. Take a walk outdoors,
gathering seeds, twigs, grass, and burrs on the socks.
Inside, remove the socks and examine them. Place them in individual
bags, keeping them damp. Over the next few weeks, watch the sock
gardens grow!
Divide socks into two piles(one pair from each sock in a different
pile). Give children one sock and have the children find the matching
sock from the other pile of socks.
Give each child 3 socks in a bag; one pair and one odd sock. Have the
child remove the one that is "not" the same from the bag.
Sort socks by color.
Place a basket of socks and have children fold the socks(turn taking activity).
