Create with Me

Parents create a Pom Pom Bear craft with their student.

You will need the following materials to create a Pom Pom Bear:

• Brown Yarn
• Brown Felt to Match Yarn
• Tan Felt
• Two Googly Eyes
• Black Permanent Marker
• Scissors
• Hot Glue

Here are the directions to create a Pom Pom Bear:

·         Make to pom poms. Use 125 wraps of yarn around a book to create the pom pom. Cut 1/3 off the end of the yarn and tie. This is the head. Cut the other 2/3 in half and stack on top of each other and tie. This is the body. Trim to make a nice round shape. Tie body and head together.

·         Cut two large ear shapes out of the brown felt and two small ear shapes out of the tan felt. Cut a small circle out of the tan felt. Use a permanent marker to draw the nose/mouth onto the circle felt.

·         Hot glue ears, nose/mouth, and googly eyes to create your pom pom bear.

Happy Homeschooling!
