Here’s a fun craft activity that you can do with your toddler, making slippers! Most of the information available looks at making toddler slippers from various materials such as cloth or fleece and having different (and difficult) quilted slipper patterns. However, we like to keep it very simple, fun and cost effective.
So, how to make toddler slippers fun?
Step 1
Find any piece of cardboard around the house. This can be a shoebox or anything that is somewhat durable. Your toddler may want to wear the new slippers around, so use a sturdier material if possible.
Step 2
Trace your child’s foot with a pencil on the cardboard. Once you have both feet traced, cut around the area. Remember those hand tracing colouring activities? Same idea applies here. Simple. Fun.
Step 3
Make 4 holes: 2 on the top and 2 about 1 inch from the top ones. See the photo below for more details. It’s also wise to measure your toddler’s foot here. Just cut off the slippers you made and you can pencil in the holes at the appropriate distance. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s a fun activity here after all.
Step 4
Get 2 elastic bands and tie them across each other. You can use different colours here if available to make it more fun. And you’re done. How easy was that?
Here you have it: how to make toddler slippers. This simple, fun and creative way to make slippers for your toddlers is a great way to spend time with you kids when doing crafts.
