Pom Pom Caterpillars
Age 7-11
Supplies:
- Two paper towel rolls
- Knitting Wool (various colour or one colour)
- Scissors
- Googly eyes
Instructions:
- Make about 5 pom poms with various colours or all one colour.*
- Tie the pom poms together with wool (Tip: It’s best to tie them together with the string used to tie the pom pom in a ball) or glue.
- Glue on googly eyes.
*To make a pom pom:
- Use two empty toilet paper rolls together.
- Wrap yarn around and around and around the two tubes until you’ve got a good amount of yarn.
- Take another piece of yarn (about a foot long should suffice) and work it between the two tubes and tie a tentative knot.
- Gently push the yarn toward one end of the tube, being careful to hold onto both ends of the yarn you’re using to securely tie the pom pom together.
- Once the yarn is off the tubes, tie it tight and cut around both edges of the pom pom.
- Fluff and Trim to form.
