Children’s Pompons Crafts
Crafts are a perfect activity for little ones to develop creativity, ingenuity and imagination. Also, it is one of the best activities to do with them during the period of confinement that we are currently facing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
To make these crafts, you can use many materials that you already have at home, since the vast majority of them can be recycled and given a second chance to use the craft in May.
Today we are going to focus on one of the materials that are super hot: the pompoms. If you don’t have this material at home, remember that you can also make it with wool, creating pompoms in the colors and sizes you want.
Selection of children’s crafts with pompoms
caterpillars
Caterpillars are one of the animals related to the season we are going to enter: spring. Therefore, to create this animal and present another view of it to children, you will need the following materials:
- Three colored pompoms.
- A clothespin.
- Glue.
- Moving eyes.
The first step is to glue the pompoms in a row on one side of the clothespin. You can choose the color combination of the pompoms you prefer.
In this way, it is possible to create color combinations that will delight the little ones and make them see these animals in a different way. The last step is optional and consists of gluing the movable eyes with glue to one of the side pompoms, in order to bring more life to the character.
Decorate notebooks with explosions of color
Children tend to have a lot of school supplies, and a large part are notebooks for writing. For this reason, to deal with the boredom of these quarantine days, one of the simple options they can do themselves is to decorate the notebooks with pompoms and thus give them a more fun look.
For this, only three materials are needed:
- A lot of colorful pompoms.
- Glue.
- The notebook to be decorated.
A Christmas tree, one of the simplest types of children’s crafts with pompoms
Although it’s still a long time before the most magical time of year, children will have a lot of fun making a tree. For this, you will only need:
- Pompoms, especially green ones.
- Glue.
- A cardboard or cardboard.
As we’ve said before, this is one of the simplest crafts that children can create independently. The first step is to place the pompoms on top of the cardboard in the shape of a Christmas tree. Once this structure is ready, just glue the pompoms to the cardboard with some glue and decorate your tree.
Other types of children’s crafts with pompoms
A box with the initial letter of the name
Another very fun type of children’s craft with pompoms that you can also use later as a decorative object is to create a board with the initial letter of the child’s name. For this, you will only need:
- An empty frame.
- Glue.
- Colorful pompoms.
If you don’t have an unused frame at home, you can also make one out of cardboard and hang it on the wall. For this craft, there is only one step: glue the pompoms forming the initial letter of the name.
You can choose the colors and sizes of the pompoms together with your children, so the crafts will be as personalized as possible.
drawings to fill
Do you remember the drawings you made when I was little that consisted of joining the dots, creating a drawing with them? Well, let’s create something similar with this craft, but using pompoms for this.
You can create simple designs such as an umbrella or a flower where each stem or petal is made with different pompoms. These designs would be little circles in which the little ones would have to place each of the pompoms later.
This way, you will have original drawings, as well as helping children with coordination and the relationship between paper, colors and mind.
