Children’s Manual Crafts With Pom-poms
Children’s crafts are perfect for the little ones at home to develop their creativity, ingenuity and imagination. In addition to this, it is one of the best activities to do in the company of parents when, for whatever reason, they cannot leave the house.
To make these crafts, you can use different materials that you already have at home. In fact, we can recycle various objects so as to give them a second life through manual jobs.
Today we focus on one of the most fashionable materials: pom-poms. If you don’t have them at home, you can make them with wool and sew them with the colors and sizes you want.
List of children’s crafts with pom-poms
Caterpillars
Caterpillars are typical animals of the spring season. To recreate them and allow children to get to know them from a different perspective, you will need the following materials:
- Three colored pom-poms.
- A clothes peg.
- Glue.
- Moving eyes.
The first step is to glue the pom-poms in a row on one side of the clothespin. You can choose the color combination of the pom-poms to your liking.
In this way you will be able to obtain color combinations that the little ones will love and that will induce them to see these animals in a different way. The last step is optional and consists in sticking the moving eyes with glue on the last pom-pom to give more life to the character.
Decorate the notebooks with a burst of color
Children generally have a variety of school supplies, mostly made up of writing pads. For this reason, and to make the boredom of the days spent at home more bearable, decorating notebooks with pom-poms, and thus making them more showy, is a very simple activity to do together. For this you will need three materials:
- A large amount of colored pom-poms.
- Glue.
- The notebook you want to decorate.

Drawings to fill
Do you remember the activity that perhaps you did as children which consisted of joining points to obtain a drawing? Well, with this handiwork we’ll do the same, but with pom-poms.
