∙ PROJECT IDEAS ∙
Get your creative juices flowing with some pompom project ideas. Happy crafting!
Pom Pom Character Accessories: These 1 cm pompoms pair perfectly with Carl & Kay's 1 inch pompoms. Use the little poms for easy (and color coordinated!) eyes, ears, hands, feet or spots!
Reward Jars: At home or in class, rewards jars work best when used consistently. Each time a child exhibits a desired behavior, place a pompom in the jar. Once the jar is filled, the child (or class) earns a reward.
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, small 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.
Decorative Letters: Trace and cut large letters out of cardboard. Glue pompoms to each letter, covering the entire surface. Hang your finished art up on the wall or display it on a shelf!
Festive Branches: Glue pompoms all throughout small tree branches and display in a vase.
∙ DID YOU KNOW? ∙
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.)
