These kits came out of my two passions of craft and teaching. My children and their friends love making them for themselves and as gifts for each other. They especially like the fact that they are handmade and love the history and story behind sock monkeys which I have included in the kits. They've been very popular with my market and craft fair customers who send the sock monkey workshop pictures of their completed monkeys. We hope you enjoy making them as much as us.
