Silly sock day
Brighten your day with a family-wide Silly Sock Day - an easy, no-prep way to bring in some playful bonding and giggles.
Sometimes all it takes to lighten the mood and feel more connected is slipping on the silliest socks you can find! Whether they’re mismatched, full of wild colours, or feature your favourite animals, declaring a Silly Sock Day can instantly lift the vibe at home.
This playful bonding idea works just as well for lazy days, school mornings, or even when you’re all out and about. You can keep it super simple or dial up the fun by adding sock hunts, silly sock parades, or creating your own sock...
