Terrific Tap Shoes

Total Time Needed:
1 Hour

Surely somewhere there are children who aren't enthralled by the oh-so-satisfying sounds of tap shoes -- we just haven't met them yet. And since quickly outgrown store-bought ones can get expensive, we've come up with this clever con-tap-tion, which allows you to easily turn any pair of shoes into tap shoes and then back again.

Materials
  • 1/2-inch-wide elastic
  • Metal washer (ours measures 1 1/4 inch across)

Instructions
  1. For each shoe, thread an 8-inch length of 1/2-inch-wide elastic through a large metal washer (ours measures 1 1/4 inches across) and knot the ends together.

  2. Terrific Tap Shoes - Step 2 Stretch the bands around your child's shoe, arranging the washer so that it lies flat against the sole. (For safety, put away the elastic when it's not in use.)
