These best yarn crafts for kids are a fun reason to borrow some of mom’s yarn! We have already taught you how to make a home-made pom pom and from this you can create lots of different things!

 

All of these crafts need those pom poms’s. Before we go any further it is important that you  Learn how to make a pom pom

These ideas for critters made from pom poms are only a few of the many.

Let you imagination run wild! There is so much you can do with different colors of yarn.

You can also change the colors by simply changing the color of yarn. 

You can also change the fluffiness of the pom poms by using thinner or thicker yarn. 

You can also use wool or string too if you have no yarn.

You can also weave in a few colors at once when you make the pom pom to have a multi-colored critter.
