![]() Once that was finished, we were ready to play! Once the mod podge dried after 10 minutes or so, I poked at all the holes with a toothpick to loosen them up and make it easy for the pom pom toothpicks to go through when my little ones tried it out. These sparkle poms poms are the same ones used in our jingle bell sensory bin, and can be found at Michaels in-store or online here. You have to be super careful to pinch the pom poms on the very tip to keep from burning your finger on the glob of hot glue. While the Mod Podge dried, I hot glued sparkle craft pom poms to the ends of a bunch of toothpicks. Mod Podge goes on white like glue, dries clear to create a seal over whatever surface you apply it to, and can be found at craft stores such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby, or online here. Then, knowing one of my kiddos would probably drool on the paper or somehow cause it to become wet or torn at some point (cuz that’s what happens with kids), I applied a layer of Mod Podge to make it a little more water- and damage-resistant. (I also had to test the holes to make sure they were big enough for the toothpicks to squeeze into.) Then I cut out a large green triangle and small brown rectangle, glued them on the box, and nailed holes all over the green triangle tree to make room for the toothpick decorations to come. I hot glued down the flaps and then used Elmer’s Glue to glue white dollar store doodle pad paper all around it. ![]() This activity was inspired by Stir the Wonder. I adapted it to accommodate for the materials I had on hand and to give it an OT twist!
