How to Make Pom Poms for Toddlers
Cheerleaders for spectator sports generally use pom-poms to add visual appeal to cheer routines. Fans attending sporting events can use pom-poms as well. Typically made of plastic or other material that flows easily, pom-poms form a fluffy ball. Pom-poms are strings of material held together in the center by a handle. Pom-poms come in a variety of colors and sizes. You can make pom-poms large enough for an adult or small enough for a toddler.
