∙ PROJECT IDEAS ∙
From color-sorting to critter-making, picture-adorning to garland-stringing, our pompoms are perfect for craft projects at home, school, camp, daycare and beyond!
Creature Creation: Simply glue pompoms together, and then add eyes, ears, hands, feet and spots using Carl & Kay's coordinating 1 cm pompoms!
Puppets: Glue a pipe cleaner to the bottom of your pompom creature and then spiral it around your finger or a pencil.
Embellishment: Add flair to picture frames, monogram letters, gift wrap, accessories and art projects.
Fine Motor Skills: Whether kids want to sweep, swat, scoop or shoot, pompoms can help them develop coordination and dexterity.
Color Sorting: Help young children learn to recognize and identify colors by sorting poms into color groups.
Garlands: Using a large needle, thread the pompoms onto yarn or string to create a garland, necklace or nursery mobile. If needed, tie knots before and after each pompom to keep from sliding.
Magnet Math: Glue magnets to each pompom and use them to help with visual addition, subtraction or arrays.
Quiet Critters: Great for classrooms! Add eyes to a pompom-but no mouth-and attach foam or felt feet to the base. These cute critters don't like to hear a lot of noise. If a child is working quietly, they get the chance to look after a critter. But if it gets too noisy, the critter will need to be moved to a quieter place.
∙ POM POM TRIVIA ∙
The word 'pompom' was derived from the French word pompon-a decorative tuft of material. Today, there is no standardized spelling of the word and all forms are used interchangeably:
One-word: pompom + pompon
Two-word: pom pom + pom pon
Hyphenated: pom-pom + pom-pon
But, no matter which way you spell it, everyone agrees they are a ball of fun! (Pun intended.)
