Kids Activities With Pom Poms

Pom poms are a play time staple for kids that can keep it out of their mouths. You can use pom poms in sensory bins, sticky walls and in quiet time activities for toddlers and preschoolers.

Felt flower bouquet busy box

For this activity you get to make a fun flower bouquet busy box. It includes a free printable that guides you how to cut out the flowers and vases.

Pom pom grab and drop

I like simple to setup activities like this pom pom activity and my kids love transferring items from one container to another. It works on their fine motor skills and concentration. All you need are pom poms, tongs and a container to add the pom poms to.

Pom pom color sort

In this activity your kids will use pom poms and a serving tray (or muffin tin) to sort the pom poms by color.

They will add all the red to one space of the serving tray and repeat it for each color, filling all spaces of the serving tray until the pom poms are sorted.

This activity uses only a few basic supplies and if you buy pom poms and a serving tray, you can repeat this activity as often as you like.

Kids can sort the pom poms by color and size and explore the textures of the pom poms in this quiet time activity.

DIY paint brushes

Kids can make fun DIY paint brushes with different materials, like twigs and leaves, ribbon, pom poms and pipe cleaners.

Ice cream Sunday quiet bin

I like the idea of making a fun and educational diy toy for my kids that they can play with over and again. In this activity you get to make a cute ice cream felt play set from felt with pompom decorations. Kids build different types of ice cream. You can also ask them to build ice cream with different number of scoops.

Eggs in the grass sensory bin

With a little creativity you can turn regular rice and pom poms into an Easter themed sensory bin. Just dye rice green to look like grass and add colorful pom poms to look like Easter eggs. You can also add plastic eggs to the bin if you have it. My kids love sensory bins and this Easter themed one is a lot of fun.

Feed the turkey

In this activity you get to make a simple and fun toy for your kids. They get to scoop and transfer pom poms into the turkey's mouth.
