How to Make a Pom Pom

Do you want to make your own fluffy pom poms? It’s easy and fun! Let’s learn how to do it step by step.

What You Need

First, gather all the things you need:

  • Yarn (this is the colorful string you will use)
  • Scissors (be careful when using them!)
  • A pom pom maker or something else like a fork or a piece of cardboard

Wrapping the Yarn

Now, let’s start making the pom pom:

  1. Take your yarn and wrap it around your pom pom maker or the object you chose, like a fork or cardboard.
  2. Keep wrapping until the yarn looks thick and fluffy. This will make your pom pom nice and full!

Cutting and Tying

Next, it’s time to cut and tie the yarn:

  1. Carefully cut the yarn along the edges. Make sure you leave a longer piece of yarn to tie it all together.
  2. Tie the yarn tightly in the middle. This will hold your pom pom together.
  3. Gently take the yarn off the object.

Trimming Your Pom Pom

Finally, let’s make your pom pom look perfect:

  1. Use your scissors to trim any yarn pieces that are sticking out. This will make your pom pom round and fluffy.
Extra Fun Ideas

Now that you know how to make a pom pom, here are some fun ideas:

  • Make pom poms in different colors and sizes.
  • Use them to decorate your room or make a pom pom garland.
  • Attach them to your backpack or clothes for a fun look!

Enjoy making your colorful pom poms and have fun decorating with them!

  • What colors would you choose for your pom poms, and why do you like those colors?
  • Can you think of other things you could use your pom poms for, besides decorating your room or clothes?
  • Have you ever made something else with yarn or string? How was that experience similar to or different from making pom poms?
  1. Color Mixing Experiment: Gather different colors of yarn and create a pom pom using two or more colors. Observe how the colors blend together. Ask yourself: What new colors do you see when you mix different yarns? Can you make a pattern with the colors?

  2. Pom Pom Size Challenge: Try making pom poms of different sizes using various objects like a fork, a piece of cardboard, or your fingers. Compare the sizes and discuss: How does the size of the object affect the size of the pom pom? Which size do you like best and why?

  3. Pom Pom Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that are round and fluffy like a pom pom. Think about: What other things can you find that are similar to pom poms? How are they used in everyday life?
