Olivia wanted to share how her Grandmother taught her to make pom poms at home.
So she and Faith wrote what they called a "Pom Pom Recipe" to instruct children what to do.

| "Pom pom recipe" "cardboard" "yarn" "wrap the yarn" "round the cardboard" |
Following the recipe, the children turned our room into a pom pom factory.
They learned fine motor control, patience, perseverance, and sequencing skills. (Sorry I don't have pics of the the finished product!)
To take the learning forward, we brought in some sewing supplies.
Using non-slip fabric and plastic needles, the children worked on threading the needle. They had to co-ordinate both the yarn and the needle together while pulling to avoid the yarn falling out.
It took some patience, and a lot of concentration. The children displayed excellent stamina for such a quiet activity.
Well done, needle pointers!
