<b>∙ PROJECT IDEAS ∙</b><br>From color-sorting to critter-making, picture-adorning to garland-stringing, our pompoms are perfect for craft projects at home, school, camp, daycare and beyond! <br><br><b>Creature Creation:</b> Simply glue pompoms together, and then add eyes, ears, hands, feet and spots using Carl & Kay's coordinating 1 cm pompoms! <br><b>Puppets:</b> Glue a pipe cleaner to the bottom of your pompom creature and then spiral it around your finger or a pencil.<br><b>Magnet Math:</b> Glue magnets to each pompom and use them to help with visual addition, subtraction or arrays. <br><b>Quiet Critters:</b> Great for classrooms! Add eyes to a pompom—but no mouth—and attach foam or felt feet to the base. These cute critters don't like to hear a lot of noise. If a child is working quietly, they get the chance to look after a critter. But if it gets too noisy, the critter will need to be moved to a quieter place.<br><br><b>A BETTER WAY TO PLAY!</b><br><br>Today, kids are using their imaginations less than ever before. From over-booked schedules to extended screen-time to overstimulation. It’s a growing problem. But, together we can change that! We are on a mission to empower kids through creativity. We can do this by inspiring them to use their imagination, think for themselves, and solve problems creatively. <br><br><b>CREATIVE KIDS ARE HEALTHY KIDS</b> <br><br><b>Fine Motor Skills:</b> Artistic activities that connect visual and tactile modalities—eye-hand coordination—help prepare the brain to understanding complex ideas like relationships, shapes, and numbers. <br><b> Problem Solving:</b> By engaging in creative activities, children develop confidence in their abilities as they learn how to innovate—a critical skill for success in life. <br><b>Wellness & Mental Health:</b> Art is a vehicle for emotion. It is a self-soothing activity that allows the creator to work through ideas and issues, building the foundation needed for healthy emotional responses.
