Make Adorable Pom Pom Dolls on Thread Spool

February 22, 2018 By Suzette Salmon Leave a Comment

Do you have any old thread spools? If you do, then this craft is for you… it’s recycling time..yeah. Gather your thread spools, pom poms and let’s create.  For this craft, we used the triangle spools, colored pom poms, fabric glue and your kids;). This craft will literally take one minute to make.Glue some dots on the thread bottom area, have the pom poms ready for the children to choose their colors and stick.  Assist the little ones as needed.Make dots for the buttons, have children stick pom poms on. The head needs large pom poms, then glue some googly eyes. We had a selection of glow in the dark eyes and other colored eyes. And before you know it the project is complete and ready for drying.Here is what the dried ones look like.  Oh…press down on the pom poms while they are drying, this will help them to stick to the spool while they dry. And before you know it the dolls are ready to go to a new home.

Have fun making these lovely dolls with your little ones.  Miss Sue:)

Hi Neighbor, I wish every child could have the opportunity to simply be a child and learn through the affordances of outdoor discoveries.

Small environments offer something deeply valuable—time, intimacy, flexibility, and closeness to everyday life. Hands on learning with freedom to explore and no time for worksheets. 
Sometimes the richest learning experiences are the simplest🍃

Your environment invites children to explore, create, problem-solve, add new knowledge to old, and gain mastery.

Your backyard is enough to create spaces for young children to explore, discover, and simply be children.

It’s the language of childhood.

Proud Mama Moment 💛

My daughter graduated from high school earlier this summer and received a full Trustee Scholarship to college, where she will be studying American Sign Language (ASL).

It’s such a full-circle moment—she is the reason I started my home childcare 17 years ago. She grew up watching me use sign language with the babies in my care, giving them a way to communicate before they had the words to speak.

I’ve always seen her use the signs and knew she was interested in ASL, but I never realized how seriously she was considering it as a career path. She has told others, “My mom spoke to nonverbal kids, and I want to do the same.”

To my fellow home educators: your children are watching you. I want you to know the value of the work you do for others—and to love and value the career you have chosen.

The little girl who watched her mama sign with babies is now heading to college to study ASL herself.

We are so incredibly proud of you, our little Sunny 🌞. Congratulations, my Trustee Scholar. Go make your mark. ❤️
