There are lots of types of yarn out there, but I recommend using acrylic yarn for this project. There is no need to use high quality wool yarn for this simple kid’s craft! Cotton yarn is also a good option for this project, it just depends on the look you want to create. Looking at our photos, all of our pom pom monsters are made with acrylic yarn except for the gray monster. Our gray character is made out of cotton yarn, which is a bit droopier than the others to match his silly eyes and teeth. 

Watch our Craft School video below for the instructions to create your pom poms. Once your pom poms are ready you can add the monster faces. Print the PDF pattern and use this template as a guide for cutting your wool blend felt pieces. Mix and match the facial features to create your own variety of characters! Pom pom monsters are a great activity to do with your little ones because the materials are completely safe and the project encourages creativity.
