Tacky Paper Pom Poms

Another fun activity with Pom Poms! Yay, can you tell how much we like them? Before the move we were staying at my parents house and my mom pulled out some tacky paper and pom poms and viola! instant fun! We taped the tacky paper to the entertainment center and the kids had a blast making pictures and designs with the pom poms. 

 Pom Poms also make great eyeballs apparently

Another fun thing to do with Pom Poms is to throw them all on the floor, hand the kiddos some clothes pins and say a color for them to pick up and place in their pile. They loved it! Lil Man struggled opening them but figured out how to pick them up with the clothes pin upside down-smart little guy! We played this game a couple times and they loved every minute of it. We easily played for an hour. 

 Some deep concentration is needed apparently!

 Trying to see if he could pick up his finger. 

Counting the pile is fun too!

 Lil Lady wanted to sort hers to see how many of each color she got. 

 Lil Man wanted to make a line and after decided it was a dinosaur. 

 Then Lil Lady wanted to make them a pillow and pretend to sleep. Such creativity! 

Have I mentioned I LOVE POM POMS?

Pom Poms are quite possibly one of my favorite kid things. There is so much you can do with them. They are cheap. They are colorful. They squish and hardly take any space to store. They come in different sizes. They are awesome. Sometime last year while at IKEA I found a bunch of sand toys. One set was an ice-cream parlor kit. Initially I was going to make yarn ice-cream balls for it but that seemed like to much work so I finally pulled them out and use pom poms instead! The kids were in heaven. They literally played cream for days. I was finding them everywhere through my house and they were getting creative with their play. I loved it!

 Here's our big carton of ice-cream ready to serve!

 Of course you have to eat the ice-cream too! ;)

 See that little munchkin in the background, she desperately wanted to play too, sorry baby! Too small for you!

 Lil Lady wanted to have a turn taking pictures so I decided to eat a cone myself.
