I was running low on some of my crafts so I decided to hit up Michael’s the other day. I bought this huge bag of pom poms because there are so many things you can do with them.
For my 5 year olds room time activity this morning I decided to have her do some patterning with the pom poms. I created a sheet of small & large sized circles on Microsoft Word.
I had her create patterns with the pom poms by placing different colored ones in the circles. Then, she had to color the circles the same color of the pom pom’s she had there.
When she came out of room time, I had her show me her sheet so I could see the patterns she’d come up with.
Bonus: My 2-year old saw the paper Ashlyn had created and asked about it. I decided it would be the perfect activity for her to find the pom poms that matched the colors in the circles and put the pom poms on top of them.

Nice job mama!
