I have a ton of pom-poms!?

Question

wat are some simple and easy and fun things to do with pom-poms!

Like the cheap made cheerleader pom-poms!

Please help! I am babysitting some BAD little kids and they demand that we make something with pom-poms! PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP!

Answer 1

Well since they demand it, ask them what do they have in mind. If it's what they suggested (even if it sound carzy), they will be more interest and willing to do the project/craft.

Here are some other ideas:

+ Tie together 2-3 pom-poms and make a rock n roll hair wig. The kids can trim their own hair styles: bangs, spikes, layers,... Secure to head with bobby pins.

+ "Paper toiler" a tree with pom-poms. Toss pom-poms up a tree. It won't be as messy as paper toilet and you might have a sparkly unique tree in your yard. Bet they will get a kick out of this one.

+ Make a bowl. This might be messy. Cut up the pom-pom so you have loose strands. Blow up a balloon. Make glue with flour (cook 1 part flour with 4-5 water) or dilute white elmer glue (1 part glue, 1 part water). Dip strands in glue, run thru fingers to remove some excess - so it's not so drippy, lay on balloon. Keep doing it till you have the desire coverage for half of the balloon. Let dry well. Pop balloon. Use sissor and cut edge to make a bowl shape. Kids can take bowl home to show off their parents. Bowl can be use for coins, junks, bread basket, ...

Be creative, and don't forget to have fun!
