Pom-pom ornaments are super fun craft activities for children to make at school or at home.

Directions for making Pom-pom ornaments

If you would like to use the shapes we used you may download them here. After the shapes are cut I would punch the hole for hanging and add the ribbon for hanging before adding the pom-poms. It will be more difficult later.

First , cut out the shapes. I usually cut out the shapes for my daughter and we applied lots of glue. Next, she carefully placed each  pom-pom on the cardboard.  When she finished, I sat a dinner plate on top for a few minutes to get the edges of the pom-poms glued to the cardboard.

She was so proud when she hung them on the Christmas tree last night!
