These adorable pom pom Christmas tree ornaments are a perfect activity to celebrate the season with your daycare kids. And they are adorable on the tree!
Daycare ornaments
I’m such a fan of Christmas ornament projects for kids, and these are so cute and affordable as well! You probably already have all the supplies for them if you are running a home daycare. And even if you’re not, you might!
We just love pom poms at Little Sprouts. They are fluffy, cute, and easy for kids with little fingers to pick up. Your kids will love making and decorating their own pom pom Christmas tree ornament. It makes a wonderful keepsake, can go on the tree making it look extra cute, is special and sentimental because the kids made it AND, it gets put away until Christmas comes again so it’s not a big clutter-creating gift for kids to make.
Preschool Christmas ornaments for parents
It makes a great gift for grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, and friends.
If you are making this with multiple kids like me, I suggest preparing the popsicle sticks ahead of time by gluing them together. This way the kids can just focus on gluing the pom poms on the craft sticks and decorating their own little tree! It’s the perfect hack to save your sanity when doing special holidays with your daycare kids.
