Celebrate National Sock Day

November 9, 2025 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

For some reason National Sock Day is coming up on Dec. 3, so let’s talk about some ways to celebrate at home or in the classroom.

Of course first off you need to declare it a silly sock day, and while mismatched socks are a classic for silly sock days, the point of National Sock Day (such that it can be said to have one) is to celebrate the pairs of socks that have stuck together.

Kids can design their own silly socks with this simple printable sock from My Cute Graphics, or use the sock coloring pages from Craft Corner DIY. It would be lots of fun to decorate the classroom with everyone’s silly socks!

The first sock-related book I think of is Fox in Socks, which is always fun to read aloud. Two Pink Peonies has a more Seuss-style printable sock if you like that better. Simply Love Coloring has coloring pages to go with the book. Your kids can sort rhyming words with this printable from Literacy Learn (I had to read the post to realize the words we’re rhyming with are fox and bricks).

Print up a bunch of colorful socks from My Party Design, hide them around the classroom/house and have kids find them and make pairs. Or do this with your mismatched socks and just go on a sock hunt! The Aristan Life has another printable sock matching game and I love that she added hanging the matched pairs on a clotheline (yeah for fine motor skill development!).

And if you’ve got real socks handy you can make some crafts with socks. Making sock snowmen is an annual tradition at my daughter’s school and you can learn how to make them from Art Beat. Or make this cute inchworm from an old sock with instructions from Woo Jr. Of course you can also make a classic sock puppet with this tutorial from Kids Activity Zone.

Shark Week Learning for Kids

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks.

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game.

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom.

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more.

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet.

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
