This is a fun activity for young kids, where they take Pom-Poms that have magnets on them and they put the right color over the dots on the sheet to complete the picture. I found this idea on Pinterest a while ago, and honestly, I am not sure who I would even give credit to for coming up with the idea because I have seen so many out there. I knew that my kids would love these, so I made some and am sharing the printables with you!
I purchased some supplies from my local Dollar Store and Walmart. I got the Cookie Pans and Super Glue from the Dollar Store (Dollar Tree), and I got the Pom-Poms(about $3.50) and the Magnets($1) from Walmart. I printed the pages just on plain copy paper and then I laminated them. They work great with out laminating, I just wanted the pages to last longer. You probably could use sheet protectors too. Then I super glued the Pom-Poms to the magnets, I bought the adhesive Magnet strips thinking that they would stick, but they just don’t hold.
My kids have loved this activity so far, they have done the whole alphabet each probably 4 or 5 different times and are still not bored of it… and it usually takes them a good 30-45 minutes to get through all of the printables.
PS. This would be great for Day Cares, Nursery, or Preschool too!
Great
Wow!!! Perfect for my 3 year old!! Thank you for sharing!!
I just finished making pom poms with magnets this week, so these are perfect! Thanks for sharing!
These are great. Is there any way you could save them as a pdf and send them to me? I can’t read the document on my computer. Thanks for sharing.
Never mind, I got it to work. Love it!
This is awesome, thank you so much!
I’ve been trying over and over to download the printables but my internet crashes each and every time. I would LOVE to use these with my son. Is there a way you could email me the PDF? I would greatly appreciate it!
This is a good idea i will have my own toddler class next school year and i thin i will be making these for the kids to do
I love these, but I can’t get them to download. Any hints?
Nevermind, it was a problem with my browser. Got it to work. Thanks
Thx so much for these great activity sheets!
Thank you so much for sharing these 🙂
Thanks for this great idea. In three weeks I will be in a boat fishing with my four year old grandson for 6 hours. Hopefully this will keep him from being thrown into the water. LOL.
I can’t get them to download. I noticed others asked for a pdf. Do you have this in pdf form? I would love to get it if so. Thanks!
Hi there, seems I’m not the only one having technical difficulties, but I can’t get this to download for the life of me! Crashes my internet every time, and now I have a bunch of crazy pop-ups. These look like the best worksheets I’ve seen and I already have the magnetic pom poms. Is there any way you can email me the PDF version?? I would SO appreciate it!
I am sorry that this has been a problem. I am going to try to make the file size smaller. I will reply again when I get that done. Did you click on the text link that says “:: Download ::”? or was it more of a picture button? I have ads that are on the post and I worry that they might be the issue, because I tried the link myself again and it appears to be working for me. I would love your feedback so that I can get this fixed, thanks in advance!!
I was super excited about these until when I started to download them my computer caught a VIRUS from it and shut down computer erasing lots of thanks. No thank you. thought you should know be careful if you want to download.
That worries me so much that that is happening to you! Did you click on the text link that says “:: Download ::”? or was it more of a picture button? I have ads that are on the post and I worry that they might be the issue, because I tried the link myself again and it appears to be working for me. If you can let me know what exactly the link looked like that you clicked on, I will try my best to fix this asap! Thanks in advance.
My computer also detected a virus because I initially clicked on a download picture button (there are 3 on the screen). It worked fine though when I clicked on “::Download::”. I think it’s just not clear which download button to click on when you enter this site. I love the printables! This is such a fantastic idea!!! Thanks!
veryvery thank you..
These are great! Is there any way for me to get them so they will print two to a page? I would like them smaller so they fit easier in a bag. Right now when I download them they are a full page. Thanks!
Thank you for your generosity!
So cute! I’ve seen the rainbow one featured on some other blogs. I was super excited when I went to look for it and found out that you have the whole alphabet. Little man is going to love them. Thanks!
Thanks for these! I use transparent colored bingo chips with these and my daughter has a blast!!!
What kind of magnets do you suggest? Since the magnetic strips didn’t hold for you.
Hello! I absolutely love these but I cannot download them? I keep getting a “404 Not Found” error. I clicked on the :: Download :: link.
FANTASTIC, got my little boy doing this
thank you so so much!
These sheets are great!! thank you so much for sharing! It was very helpful that you explained in the comments which download button to use. Almost got a virus myself!
