∙ 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 SHOOTER ∙
Here's how to make a quick and easy pompom shooter using a pool noodle, a balloon and duct tape:
1. Cut off a 3 inch piece from the end of a pool noodle.
2. Tie a knot in the neck of a uninflated balloon. Turn the balloon around and trim an inch off the top center (i.e. the drip tip).
3. Pull the newly opened end of the balloon over the 3 inch pool noodle and secure with duct tape.
4. Load and launch! Poms away!
