Jack and I made pom-poms today:
I got these Clover pom-pom makers today (the large and small sets), and Jack and I had fun with some yarn scraps. We watched a YouTube video, and it really is super easy (the video is a bit long, so I admit I kind of skipped some parts of it). He's 4 now and he did most of his pom-pom all by himself, with only a little help with the scissors.
And since he picked the very biggest one and it took awhile to wrap, I made myself a whole bunch of smaller ones out of small bits of handspun:
Needless to say, this was a super fun way to use up small bits of yarn. Now I just have to figure out what to do with a bunch of pink pom-poms ;).
