Uses for velcro straps

I bought my daughter a chalk footprint making set. This amounts to large feet that have removable insoles for various types of animal track prints and bags of colored chalk that attach over the foot with a velcro strap. The idea is the child stomps along the sidewalk, leaving a trail of chalk animal tracks. Well, since there is only a single velcro strap over the top of the foot, but the strap has a wide girth, kids feet easily slide out when walking. Needless to say, my daughter was quite frustrated! I remembered a bag of velcro cable retainers I had laying around. A few quick loops and I had fastened an ankle strap to supplement the existing foot strap. No more slipping off, and my daughter can run around without fear of loosing her 'footing'. I now have blue and pink paw chalk paw prints all over my driveway and down my sidewalk.
