Do your kids love cute toys? So today you have a chance to create this funny one – pom pom pal with them! You will need large pom pom maker, thick wool, buttons, rainbow loom bands for the pigtails, paper, black marker, scissors and glue. Start by making the pom pom. Gather two tufts of the wool and tie into pigtails and trim around the rest of the pom pom. Lay out your button collection to pick the perfect eyes for your pal. Press and hold them in place for a few minutes while the glue takes hold. On a sheet of paper start drawing faces and mouths of your pal. Choose funny lips for your pal and cut them out with the scissors and glue them onto the face. That’s all!

This craft isn’t so easy-to-make but it’s so interesting to play! You will need 1 aluminum foil container, water, 1 piece of copy paper, 2 pipe cleaners, 2 wooden tablespoons, 1 black button, thin red tape, 1 blue circle sticker (medium), 1 blue circle sticker (small) and scissors. Fold the paper (already cut to fit the container) in half and then again at each end (1 inch). Reopen the folds. Mark the middle and goal lines with the red tape. Fold the paper lengthwise to determine the middle and goal points. Then cut the large blue sticker in half to mark the goals and place the small sticker at the center of the rink. Place the paper in the container and fill it with water until the paper is completely covered, then pour a little bit more to give your ice thickness. Now leave it in the freezer for a few hours.
