Even the word “pompom” is fun to say! We use pompoms as a crafting material, as manipulatives for learning activities (counting/sorting/etc.), and with this project we turned them into homemade jewelry and put together this how-to so you can too!

Sending Hugs
We have many friends and family members who live far away, and we don’t get to see them often. Let’s face it, with young kids, even our friends and family who live within walking distance don’t see us that often. Can you relate? 🙂 We decided to “send hugs” to some of our loved onesContinueContinue reading “Sending Hugs”
