How to Make a Ghost Pom Pom Popper
Step 1. Tie your balloon and cut off the top of it so that it will be able to stretch around a cup.
Step 2. Cut out the bottom of your cup- have an adult do this part! You can use an x-acto knife or regular scissors.
Step 3. After the initial cut I usually just tear around the remainder!
Step 4. Draw on your ghost face using a sharpie or black marker. Slide your balloon onto the cup and fill with pom poms! I do recommend taping or glueing down the balloon. That way if little hands are pulling hard to launch their pom poms it doesn’t fall apart.
