Looking for last-minute stocking stuffers that won’t break the bank, create cavities, or stop working after five minutes of play? The Pom Pom Maker kit, from Eeboo, will fill their stocking and their free time with a crafty task that gives immediate satisfaction — creating the perfect pom pom! Then you can sew, glue, or pin ’em to hats, lapels, the backs of mittens and socks, and hair elastics (for ridiculously adorable pigtails)! The kit contains detailed instructions; 6-feet of colorful, fluffy yarn; tie string; and the cardboard “maker” that a kid — ages 8 and older — needs to create 3-inch- and 2-inch-wide pom poms. (You supply the scissors and additional yarn to make even more pom poms with the reusable maker.)
