Posted on: May 14, 2009
(These are really fun to make and play with. We’ve actually done these twice. Evan loves to play with what he makes. Sean just likes to get messy as he makes things. This is an easy craft, and it is not very messy.)
Things you need:
- Six to seven 1 in pom poms
- Popsicle stick
- Glue
- Black marker or goggly eyes
- Mini pom poms (optional)
- Magnet (optional)
Have the child put glue on the Popsicle stick.
Gluing the pom poms
Have the child place pom poms on the stick.
Making a colorful bug
Have the child mark the eyes with a marker or help the child glue the eyes. Glue the mini pom poms on the head for antenna. If you would like, glue a magnet on the bottom of the stick when the caterpillar is dry.

Pompom Chicks

Our pompom chicks!
(The boys really enjoyed doing this. I’ve always thought pompom chicks were so cute, but I knew the boys would crush real eggshells, so I decided to use plastic ones. Evan is so enamored with his chick that he actually plays with it, making the cracking noises of the chick hatching out of the egg as he removes the top of the shell.)
Things you need:
¨ 2 yellow 1in pompoms
¨ Plastic egg shell
¨ 2 googly eyes
¨ Orange construction paper or orange craft foam
¨ Glue
¨ Scissors
A Few of the materials you'll need
Cut a triange in the orange paper or craft foam to make a beak.
Have the child glue a yellow pompom to the inside of the bottom of the egg.
Squeezing glue in the bottom of the egg
Have the child glue the second pompom on top of the first.
Squeezing glue on the first pompom
Have the child glue on the beak and the googly eyes on the top pompom.
