playing with magnetic pom-poms

 
 
We have a set of colorful pom-poms that have had strips of magnetic tape glued to them. Sometimes they are on our whiteboard for the children to play with but I brought out our round pizza trays to see what they would do with them. We practiced patterning and made caterpillars and shapes but mostly they piled as many as they could onto the tray before putting them away so another child could play.

for you crafty folks

circle stackHi there! Just thought I would show ya something nifty that you can make for your kidlets. I used a juice glass for the template and traced the circle onto the felt, backed it with fun fabric, right side facing out. Stitch along the circle, cut with pinking shears and toss to your tots. These circles here have been actively played with in the play kitchen. What will your tots do with them?circle fronts
