Fair warning: once your child has made one fluffy friend, they'll want the whole flock. Our new collection of keepsake pom pom kits for kids turns an afternoon of winding wool into an adorable hanging decoration - a lamb for the spring shelf, a robin for the tree, a Highland cow for absolutely no reason except that Highland cows are brilliant. Each one arrives in its own little keepsake tin, gets made by small proud hands, and earns a permanent spot around the home. Not a scrap of plastic tat in sight.

Easy Crafting for Little Hands

Every kit in the range works the same lovely way. Each wooden character arrives beautifully pre-printed, so children can get straight to the best bit: winding wool around the pom pom makers until a gloriously fluffy pom pom appears, ready to become their creature's soft middle. A wooden needle helps with the fiddly bits, and everything - wool, wooden character & label - packs back into the tin between crafting sessions.

It's gentle, absorbing work that suits little hands from about three up, with no glue, no mess & no bits of plastic rolling under the sofa. Just wool, wood and concentration.

Curated Kids Keepsake Pom Pom Tins

Make Your Own Pom Pom Lamb Decoration Kit

The original spring favourite. Children wind, fluff & attach their handmade pom pom to give the sweet pre-printed lamb the softest, fluffiest tummy around. Ideal for Easter - and for anyone who believes a lamb belongs on the shelf all year.

Make Your Own Pom Pom Bunny Decoration Kit

A fluffy-tummied bunny with big Easter energy. Once pom-pommed, attach the twine & hang somewhere special - or let it join the role-play, because a bunny this soft rarely stays a decoration for long.

Make Your Own Pom Pom Robin Decoration Kit

Britain's favourite bird, in his fluffiest form yet. Robins were frankly born for the pom pom treatment, and this little chap will look after the Christmas tree beautifully - then reappear from his tin every December after.

Make Your Own Pom Pom Highland Cow Decoration Kit

The character of the collection. If any animal deserves to be recreated in wool, it's the world's shaggiest, most nonchalant cow - and children adore making this one just for the giggle of it.

Make Your Own Pom Pom Crab Decoration Kit

One for the seaside dreamers. A cheerful, fluffy crab to make after a beach holiday (or instead of one), bringing a bit of rockpool joy to the bedroom wall.

Make Your Own Pom Pom Ballerina Decoration Kit

For the twirlers. Children give their dancer her pom pom & she's ready for the spotlight - a lovely year-round make for any little person currently refusing to take off their tutu.

Make Your Own Pom Pom Santa Decoration Kit

The jolliest of the lot. A wonderfully fluffy Father Christmas to stitch onto the festive scene - a brilliant advent activity, and a decoration with instant heirloom potential.

Practical Pom Pom Kits for Kids Parents Approve

Here's what makes these keepsakes rather than crafts-that-vanish: they're light enough to hang anywhere - a door handle, a bedpost, the tree - and they come back out season after season. The lamb & bunny mark spring, the crab owns summer, the robin & Santa run Christmas, and the ballerina and Highland cow dance and graze all year round. The tins do quiet second duty as treasure boxes too. As pom pom kits for kids go, the whole range is completely plastic-free & handmade - the sort of small, well-made things this collection was designed around.
