How to Create Tap Shoes for a Toddler

If you have a budding dancer who would love to try tap dancing but you don't want to purchase expensive tap shoes, it's possible to provide tap shoes for a little dancer, inexpensively.
This may be a good idea if you are not sure whether your child is really serious about wanting to dance. You could make a pair of tap shoes out of an inexpensive pair of croc shoes and let them experiment to see whether tap dancing is something they want to pursue.

    • 1

      Turn the Crocs over so that the bottoms of the shoes face up.

      Lay out the pennies and divide them into two piles of 10 pennies each. Ten pennies will be for each shoe.

    • 3

      Open the Super Glue very carefully.

    • 4

      Place a small dab of glue onto the surface of a penny.

    • 5

      Affix the penny to the bottom of a shoe, working quickly.

    • 6

      Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to stick the pennies onto the soles of both shoes. Arrange the pennies so that they evenly cover all of the shoe that has contact with the floor.

      Allow the shoes to set to make sure that the glue is dry and the pennies are secure.

Tips & Warnings

  • Protect your work surface from the Super Glue and be very careful not to get glue on your clothes or skin.
