We love PomPoms at SoCal Moms because they keep little bodies busy for a long time. You’ve seen these at the store, but did you know you can use them for a lot more than just crafting?

– Practice sorting them with toddlers. Sort by color or size. And use salad tongs or tweezers to sort for an added challenge!

– Get silly and sort them with your toes! Put some cups down on the ground and kids will get a kick out of filling the cups up with poms using only their feet!

– Move them using only your breath! Just like you are blowing out birthday candles, you can blow them across a table or floor. Make sure you are behind, not above the pom, to make it race the fastest!

Make a homemade, three dimensional Mothers’ Day card this year with just a few simple craft supplies!

Fold a horizontal piece of paper or card stock in half. After your kiddo writes a special note inside, get ready to make the cover of your card 3D!

Color or paint a few popsicle sticks green and glue them down as flower stems. Then cut some tissue paper squares to add as petals. Feel free to recycle any old, crumpled tissue from your last purchase — the added texture makes the petals look even cuter.

For a more personal touch, grab some stamp pads and add little finger prints as the petals. Kids (young and old) will love the creative process and Grandmas are guaranteed to swoon!
