Crafts from Chinelle and Pompom: A Rainbow of Learning Opportunities

As parents, we're always on the lookout for fun and engaging activities to do with our kids that also promote learning and development. Recently, my son and I stumbled upon a delightful craft project that fit the bill perfectly - a pom pom rainbow craft! With just a few simple supplies, including mini pom poms in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white, a piece of cardboard, and some glue, we were able to create a beautiful and educational masterpiece.

The best part? My son absolutely loved it! In fact, he was so enamored with the process that as soon as we finished the craft, he pulled all of the pom poms off the rainbow because he wanted to start over and sort them again. I was surprised by how much he enjoyed the sorting process, as I thought he might find this part boring. Instead, it became a fun challenge for him.

To make this project, simply follow these steps: place all of the pom poms into one bowl and have your child go through the bowl, color by color, to pick out each individual color. We used the back of a pack of construction paper as our cardboard base, but you can use any type of cardboard you have available.

This craft project offered many additional learning opportunities beyond just being creative. It helped develop my son's sorting and hand-eye coordination skills, which are essential for problem-solving and fine motor control. And, with some extra cardboard and glue, we were able to create a cute and functional rainbow-shaped decoration that can be displayed proudly.

As a busy mom of two, I often find myself struggling to balance spending quality time with both kids equally. But moments like these remind me of the importance of taking the time to engage in activities with each child individually. It's not always easy, but it's worth it to see them develop and grow through our shared experiences.

If you're looking for a fun and educational activity to do with your kids, I highly recommend giving this pom pom rainbow craft a try. With its simple supplies and endless learning opportunities, it's a project that's sure to delight both parents and children alike. And who knows - you might just find yourself surprised by the creative and educational possibilities that arise from a simple pile of mini pom poms!
