Pom Pom Play
A tiny fibre room you can play in!
The Set Up
Fill a tub with pom poms in every size and colour! Sometimes we add another sensory tub 'base' to bulk it out a bit. Scatter in cups, bowls, scoops, and tweezers. Line the base with safety mirrors so the colours bounce and multiply.
The Making
Pick up, drop, sort, and pile. Tiny pom poms test fine motor skills with tweezers. Giant fluffy ones are perfect for scooping and pouring. Some artists sort by colour, others build towers or nests. The soft texture and bright palette feel joyful no matter how they are handled.
Variations
Make your own pom poms first and mix them in.
Add dot stickers to cups and bowls for colour-matching games.
Mix in buttons, felt mushrooms, or wooden counters for extra textures.
Materials
Pom poms in a range of colours and sizes
Cups, bowls, scoops, tweezers or tongs
Safety mirrors for the base
Optional: wool and cardboard rings to make pom poms or extra loose parts
