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:)

Here’s an example of our cleanup process. The bell goes off for lunchtime and the children automatically start singing and cleaning up (I don’t usually sing but they do). Some are singing only for the song while others are busy cleaning up like ‘the  little red hen.’ A beautiful example of when you work alone and the children are your teammates. 
Yes, they’re my little learners and teammates - all hands on deck. We have a wonderful symbiotic relationship harmoniously working together for the good of the environment.
It makes this work enjoyable and it also helps all to learn and appreciate each other - especially when you have a yard this size.

Beautiful slow approach to my early years classroom. I work alone and it’s very important that we all enjoy the space. Children are allowed to move materials, gather, play, learn and then clean up after. 
- A small mixed-age ratio provides many opportunities for discoveries, play and lots of hours outdoors. 
-This was a rainy day, we also harvest rain for their unending play.

Nature gives children something real to think about. Listen to the children - bumblebees and butterflies like nectar too.
