Pom Pom Drop activity

2020-11-30T13:50:00.000-05:00

This is a great activity that can be done with things you have at home and your child will love. In this article it asks that you drop a small pom pom, a cotton ball or a wadded up piece of paper would work just as well. Or better yet you could have a variety of options to drop of several different sizes and you could talk about large and small with your child.

I hope you enjoy this one.
