Do you have a football loving kiddo at your house? My older son is very into football! To get him crafting we made these fun pom pom poppers, but turned them into footballs for fun way to use them!
Making a football pom pom popper only requires a few supplies, and you can swap things out for what you have around the house. If you don’t have brown cups you can use a paper towel roll, and if you don’t have pom poms grab some mini marshmallows!

How to Make a Football Pom Pom Popper
Step 1. Draw lines on your brown paper cup to look like football seams.
Step 2. Cut out the bottom of your cup- have an adult do this part! You can use an x-acto knife or I just used scissors and then tore it out.
Step 3. Tie a brown balloon and then cut off the top.
Step 4. Slide the ballon onto the bottom of the cup. Secure with tape.
Step 5. Fill your cup with mini pom poms or mini marshmallows. Pull back the bottom of the balloon and let it go to make it fire.
