Anchor Socks

This is a must try.  It's the simplest thing to make and the kids are totally into it.  These anchor socks are played with for a week straight now.  I initially created them for our sailing the mayflower activity but they deserve to be highlighted on their own.

How to Make: A sock, stuff with newspaper and tied shut with long string.

They practice throwing the anchor in buckets, they drag the buckets around with the anchors (caught a big fish), they catch each other with the anchors, anchors get landed on square taped to floor with painters tape and anchors get a parade walk.  Very surprised by how much action this simple DIY toy gets.
