Thanks you ladies for all the help in finding all the info on the the sock monkeys. I'm going to try Tractor Supply tomorrow. If not there , will probably order off line already made. They are very reasonable priced already made. Also lots of different colors. Thanks again.

Target sells the monkeys too not sure if you have one in your area. My target has a aisle with toys from my generation. (38 years ago) Jade

I just got an orange ( my fav color) sock monkey at K-Mart for $10 last week! Awesome deal since Target wants $15 for there's! Have fun!

Good Luck! Our Farm and Fleet had them(the socks) hanging in the mens socks!
