Sock Animals

Dear users, dear authors,
Do you like sock animals? There used to be this sock animal craze. Is it over now?

I’m not familiar with sock animals (I checked out your link, of course).

But yesterday I gave away a hobby horse—I’d bought it secondhand and then gave it away on a flea market platform—and it was also made from an old sock. 



And I once made potatoes out of old pantyhose for my grandson’s play store. Unfortunately, there aren’t any pictures of that.

Awesome horse

Yeah, I liked it so much back then that I picked it up for 2 euros. It’s really well made. But now my grandson is too big for it—horses are just for girls—so I gave it away. 

Is there anything inside to stabilize the head when the neck bends toward the horse’s mouth?

Unfortunately, I don’t know. In any case, the head was really hard and solid. I think it was well stuffed. The stick went a little way into the head. I never tried to move the head, though. After all, you only ever rode on the stick. You’d shout “huah!” and run off. 

Seriously, did you jump on the sock animal bandwagon too? ;)

The kid in me keeps coming out 😂

Wow. I’m glad you’re having fun.

I once made horses like these out of pool noodles and socks for a kids’ birthday party (theme: knights). The kids got to take their horses home afterward.
