A 15–30 minutes craft for ages 3–8, 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.
Lay out some newspaper on your crafting surface. Pinch a pompom with a clothespin to form a “paint brush” or just use a regular paint brush. Place 2 paper plates on the newspaper, bottom up, and paint them black. If you don't want to use paint, you can use crayons or markers.
"Let's stick together and make this one!"
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!
