I made this for my daugh­ter, who is 7 1/2 years old. Her foot is about 13 1/2 shoe size to almost a Size 1, and 7 inch­es long. This slip­per should fit a child from 5- 8 years old. When you get to the length of the slip­per, mea­sure your child’s foot. My daugh­ter’s foot mea­sured 7 inch­es, so I made the slip­per about 7.5 to 8 inch­es long to fit, and before I slip-stitched it closed, I put it on her foot to check if it fits.
