<\/p>\nToday I\u2019m going to show you how to make pom poms.\u00a0 These paper pom poms are super pretty and colourful and you\u2019ll love how easy they are to make!<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve made them for kids to play with as cheerleader pom poms but they\u2019d be super fun as colourful pom pom decorations too!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll adore how super quick and easy these pom poms are to make and the kids will have a blast shaking them, running with them, spinning with them and dancing with them!<\/p>\n
Pom poms are such a fantastic resource for inspiring creativity and self expression and developing gross motor skills too.<\/strong><\/p>\n You can make pom poms in any size or colours you like. It really is only limited by the size of your tissue paper sheets.\u00a0<\/p>\n You\u2019ll be able to make these colourful cheerleader pom poms in just a few minutes and they\u2019ll provide lots of physical play opportunities for your kids.<\/p>\n I bet you won\u2019t be able to resist a little song and dance with them too! I know I couldn\u2019t!<\/p>\n 1 \u2013 It doesn\u2019t really matter what size tissue paper sheets<\/a> you have but I wouldn\u2019t go any smaller than A4 (12\u2033 x 8\u2033). Simply make a pile of all the colours you want to use in your pom poms. We used about 10 sheets.<\/p>\n 2 \u2013 We\u2019re going to cut the strips for both pom poms at the same time so fold the tissue paper<\/a> pile in half lengthways. Then using your pinking shears<\/a> to make lovely zig-zag lines, cut thin strips all along the length of the paper leaving a couple of inches at the top uncut to use as your handle later.<\/p>\n 3 \u2013 Once you\u2019ve cut thin strips all along your tissue paper<\/a>, open up the two halves and cut along the fold to separate them.<\/p>\n 4 \u2013 Roll the uncut sections of tissue paper tightly to make the handles for your pom poms.<\/p>\n 5 \u2013 Lastly wrap the electrical tape<\/a> tightly around the handle to make it secure and to hold all the colourful pom pom tassels in place.<\/p>\n More Fun Summer Crafts To Try:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Springy 3D Paper Bee Craft For Kids<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Easy Sunflower Hat Craft For Kids (Printable Template)<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n 15 Free Insect Life Cycle Film Strip Activities For Kids<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Free Printable Paper Houses Crafts For Kids To Make<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n![\"CHEERLEADER](\"https:\/\/kidscraftroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Learn-how-to-make-pom-poms.jpg\")
