A 20–30 minutes craft for ages 5–10, using supplies you likely already have — Yarn, Hole Punches, and Pom Poms.
GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.
Create a free GlueStick account to track supplies and see if you have what you need at a glance. Leave your kids tips about where supplies are stored in your household so they can set up and clean up their creative spaces independently.
First, cut your paper plate into a crescent moon shape. Put some newspaper down to keep your table clean. If you don't have a paintbrush, you can make one! Pinch the medium pompom with the clothespin to make a paintbrush. Squeeze some yellow paint onto the newspaper. Paint one side of your moon yellow. Let it dry. Then, paint the other side yellow and let it dry too.
"Are you as excited to make this as I am?"
Put things away so your space is tidy for next time.
Check off each supply when it is put away — and any clean-up tips underneath are done too. You might find a fun surprise!
