SOCK HORSE

Do you like horse-riding? If yes, then read on for today we are going to learn to make our own riding horse. Yes, you can make your very own riding partner, ready for you to go galloping around the house or leap over the ditches in the play ground.

Difficult did I hear? Relax - put your doubts to rest and just follow these simple instructions below and within 30 minutes you will have your own little horse to ride around in.

Things required: ( Just hunt around or ask your mom for these things which will be easily found in any household )

An old sock

An old glove 

Two buttons

A broomstick

Cotton wool (low-quality) or old discarded nylon stockings.

Now you are ready to begin...

1. Stuff the sock full of cotton wool or old nylon stockings.

2. Push the end of about a metre length of broomstick well up through the stuffing. Tie the opening at the cuff of sock to the brook stick.

3. From the glove cut off 2 of the fingers. Stuff with wool and sew on for ears.

4. Sew on button for eyes and fasten strips of shoelace/ribbon/leather (whatever is available) for bridle and reins.

5. Paint on nostrils and teeth.

Now you are all set to gallop off...!
