One of my kids’ favorite play medium are pom poms! So fuzzy and versatile! They somehow always make a play last longer than with other items we have around. Of course, if you have a child who likes to put things in their mouth, you might want to stand by when they use pom poms for play and explain to them how pom poms are not edible.
