What do you get when you combine Pom-Pom Balls and googly eyes?
Elmo & Oscar!!
If you are looking for an easy craft to get your little ones giggling…go get glueing. These only take a few minutes!
You Need:
- One large red pom-pom
- One large green pom-pom
- One medium orange pom-pom
- One medium brown pom-pom
- 4 – large googly eyes
- 2 – pipe cleaners (preferably red and green!)
- Glue
- Scissors
To make Elmo:
- Glue 2 eyes to the top of the red pom-pom.
- Roll the orange pom-pom between your to fingers to flatten it. You want to make an oval for Elmo’s nose. Glue in between the eyes.
- Cut your pipe cleaner in half, and wrap around your finger to make a curl big enough to fit on a pencil.
- Glue it to the bottom of the pom-pom.
To make Oscar:
- Glue 2 eyes onto the green pom-pom. (top/middle area)
- Take your brown pom-pom and cut it in half. Now pull on the ends so that it becomes a loose, and roll it so that it becomes a long piece of brown fluff.
- Place a dot of glue in between Oscar’s eyes, then shape! (you want to make the top of a heart. Point in the center, and slightly arched over the eyes) Add more glue if necessary, and trim the ends if the brown fluff is long.
- Cut your pipe cleaner in half, and wrap around your finger to make a curl big enough to fit on a pencil.
- Glue it to the bottom of the pom-pom.
Easy right?! And when your kid gets tired of writing with them, slide them onto their little fingers.. now you have finger puppets!
