Directions:
- Cut a piece of scrap cardboard into a square that is 3"x 3" (if you want larger pom poms make it 4"x4")
- Start with the end of the yarn and wrap around the cardboard 100 times. If you kids can't count to 100, have them count to 10, 10 times. When you get to the end cut the yarn.
- For the next step you will need the help of the an adult. Take a scissor and cut the yarn along the top edge and bottom edge keep all the pieces together. It will no longer be a loop.
- Cut a piece of yarn that is 5" long and tie it tightly in the center. Fluff out the pom pom and trim to make it a round pom pom.
