About This Project

A 10–20 minutes craft for ages 5–10, using supplies you likely already have — Pom Poms, Scissors, and Googly Eyes.

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.

    Make Peas in a Pod Craft

    A photo showing how to complete this step

    Get and Cut Out Your Pea Pod Shape

    First, get the pea pod template. Ask a grown-up to help you print it. Then, cut out your pea pod shapes from green paper. Remember to fold the paper where the template tells you to before cutting.
