How to Make Pompom Animals is an interactive craft kit for children age 4 and up. This set includes various sizes and colours of pompoms, eyes, stands, and glue needed to make various types of pompom creatures in easy to reseal bags. A book giving full step by step directions to make various animals is also included.
There are a number of different options for children when making these creatures. They can choose to create the animals described in the book. These creations range from extremely easy to make butterflies, birds, and turtles to more difficult racoons, penguins, and dogs. Children also have the option of being completely creative and making aliens.
We managed to make nine pompom animals following the instructions and then an alien with the leftover bits. Each creation looked absolutely adorable. The easy to use no mess glue stick assured that there was no mess either in the craft area or on the kid’s hands. Though I found some of the harder animals a bit challenging, smaller hands seemed to find the task much easier.
