We colored one of ours blue and the other one red.

Kids might enjoy doing a pattern of stripes, dots, or their favorite color.

Once they are done coloring, they can add bits of cotton balls to their hat with a bit of school glue.

We like to pull apart our cotton balls to make them last longer and create a fluffy look.

We added cotton to the top of the hat for the large pom pom and on one of our hats we added it to the edge for an extra fluffy look.
