Cobbler Cobbler is a short nursery rhyme about a pair of old shoes that a cobbler is supposed to fix. It is not a long story, but the kids like it. Ask the kids if they actually know what a cobbler is! It is not very often they visit a cobbler, is it? Maybe that is something to think about? Tell the children that we don`t have to buy new gear all the time. It is also possible to repair old stuff sometimes. Maybe you should try to fix your own (or the kids') shoes next time, instead of buying new shoes?
