Halloween Ring Critters
by Twila Lenoir
Use pompoms and short chenille stems to make these cute ring critters for Halloween.
This is a quick and easy craft which makes a nice group activity. Maybe you can make several ring critters to swap or share with your friends?
You will need:
Instructions:
1. For the ring part of this craft, cut a chenille stem to about 1-½ inches and curl it into a "U" shape.
2. Glue a small pompom to each end of the "U" shape.
3. Glue a goggle eye to each of the small pompoms.
4. Cut two 2 inch pieces from the second chenille stem. Twist each piece around a pencil to make the curly antennas. Glue the antennas to the small pompoms.
5. Glue tiny pompoms to end of each antenna.
6. Place the "U" shaped ring on your finger so that the pompom critters are facing upward. Twist the "U" into a circle around your finger to complete your Halloween ring critter. Enjoy !

Help! I can't get the pom poms to stick to the chenile stem. Elmer's white glue isn't cutting it. Any other suggestions? Keep in mind, I'm entertaining 2 year olds with this craft. Thanks!

I think you just need to hold it together for a while...
I've a done a similar craft with the same materials and we had the children hold the glued parts for roughly thirty seconds. It worked pretty well as long as it was given enough time to dry out properly.
If that still doesn't work well, I think the best thing to use is a glue gun and simply it aside for a minute before returning it to the children...
