Transform fuzzy yellow pom-poms into charming chicks, then display your brand-new brood in a cozy yarn nest set in the crook of a cut branch.
Total Time 1 to 2 hours
Ages: preschooler
What you'll need[]
- 2 small bowls
- Plastic wrap
- Concentrated liquid laundry starch
- Lightweight fuzzy yarn, cut into 3-foot lengths
- Tweezers
- Black seed beads
- Tacky glue 2-inch yellow pom-poms
- Orange felt
- Scissors
How to make it[]
- Cover a small bowl in plastic wrap. Fill a second bowl with liquid starch, then dip in a length of yarn. Wind the wet yarn in a random crisscross pattern around the wrapped bowl's exterior. Repeat this with more yarn until you've covered the bowl's bottom and partway up the sides.
- Let the nest dry in a warm spot overnight (or as long as it takes for it to dry completely). Once it's dry, peel it away from the bowl. Peel off the plastic if it stuck.
- To make each chick, use tweezers to dip bead eyes into a dab of glue and then affix them to a pom-pom. For a beak, fold the felt, then snip a triangle from the fold. Run a line of glue along the outside of the crease. Press the beak in place. Arrange the chicks in the nest.
