Pom pom crafts for kids are my absolute favorite. It’s so easy the do and the kids love it. The great thing is that pom pom activities can also double as sensory activities for younger kids, and then you can more detail and creativity for older kids.

I love to find creative ways for my children to both learn AND have fun. Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers have such an innocent curiosity to learn anything they possibly, and they really do learn from anything, not just sitting in a classroom.

So it honestly doesn’t take much at all for us parents, grandparents, and caregivers to be creative and teach our children during our day to day activities.

The Best Pom Pom Crafts!

Get Your Supplies

This is probably one of my favorites parts of this activity. I LOVE shopping and I LOVE finding value for cheap prices even more! Everything you need can be found with one trip to the dollar store and shouldn’t cost any more than 2-3 dollars! Here is a list of the items you will need if you don’t already have them at home.

1. A bag of Pom Poms (if you plan to do a lot of crafts you can get larger bags here)
2. Index cards or any strong paper
3. Glue
4. Scissors

Draw and Cut out Your Child’s Name

After drawing out the letters onto the index cards, just  cut them out! I shortened my son’s name to his nickname and I only did the first letter of my 18 month old’s name.

Apply Glue and Let the Fun Begin!

This part of the activity is very simple and fun for your child! The trick is to apply a line of glue section by section and allow your toddler to apply the pom poms as you go. If you do it this way, the glue will not dry out and there is also less chance of a glue disaster 🙂

As for colors and design, whatever you are feeling that day, just go with it ? I will say that one of my most important tips for any activity involving toddlers is to try your best to have things already set up before you present activities to you tots, if possible. Prevention is Key! Having the letters already drawn out was a life saver for me because my son is not into waiting lol.

Let them do it however they want! Toddlers LOVE to show their independence, so I always try to allow for flexibility with these types of activities. Enjoy!
