Who this list is for
This yarn pom-pom animal craft supply list is for an elementary art activity making small chicks, bunnies, caterpillars, and other pom-pom animals. Adult assistance may be needed when yarn is tied or trimmed.
How to use this list
Start each child with a cardboard pom-pom template, chunky yarn, and a paper plate to keep the work area contained. Once the pom-pom is made, use washable tacky glue to attach wiggle eyes, felt pieces, pipe cleaners, large pom-poms, or small pom-poms. Washable markers and cardstock name tags can finish the animal and identify its maker.
Common mistakes
Do not cut long yarn lengths for every child at once. Short, manageable lengths reduce tangles and keep the tables workable. Younger children may need adult help with trimming because the shape of the pom-pom changes quickly. Avoid adding eyes, felt, or pipe cleaners until the yarn pom-pom is secure and the glue has a stable surface.
What is on this list
Gather 20 skeins of chunky yarn, 30 cardboard pom-pom template sets, 20 pairs of child-safe scissors, and 20 bottles of washable tacky glue. The list also includes 100 wiggle eyes, 30 felt sheets, 60 pipe cleaners, 100 large pom-poms, 200 small pom-poms, 30 paper plates, markers, and cardstock name tags. Cross off materials already in the art cabinet.
When you are done
Put each pom-pom animal on its paper plate until the glue dries. Add a name tag, then move the animals to a flat display surface. Save templates, unopened yarn, and unused decorations for another animal-making session.
