Sock Monkeys


Volunteers lovingly hand-make sock monkey dolls for each of our pediatric inpatients.

Sock monkey dolls are available free of charge to our young inpatients from the Volunteer Services office, 8025 JCP, during regular business hours.

Other patients and visitors may purchase a monkey doll for $20, proceeds are used to obtain socks and stuffing for the program.

Would you like to make monkey dolls for our patients? The link below offers a pattern for use. However, please do not use ribbon or string to tie off and shape the head nor buttons for eyes (or anything else a child could pull off the monkey and put in their mouth). Most volunteers draw on the face but some actually embroider the facial features. Have fun and thank you for thinking of our patients! http://www.foxsox.com/Categories/resources/RedHeelInstructions.pdf
