At The Peaceful Preschool we love all things hand made. So when our Peaceful Preschool Free Letter A Unit was being curated, and we needed pom poms, it was only natural that we go ahead and make them!

Yarn wrapping is a simple fine motor activity that provides enjoyment for preschool students, and makes adorable little pom poms that you can use in Peaceful Preschool craft projects. 

SUPPLIES

Red and green yarn

1 1/2" square piece of stiff cardboard

INSTRUCTIONS

• Cut a 6” piece of yarn.

• Using the large yarn ball, wrap yarn 40 times around the cardboard.

• Carefully, without messing up the loops, slide the wrapped yarn off of the cardboard.

• Using the 6” piece of yarn, tie a tight knot around the middle of the looped yarn, so that you have two groups of looped yarn on either side of the tied piece.

• Slide a scissor into the loops and cut them open all the way around.

• Fluff the pom-pom.
