When you think of a cactus, you generally think of a plant that is prickly and pokey. This pom-pom cactus craft is the exact opposite—these mini-cacti are so soft and cute you won't be able to stop touching them! Upcycle an egg carton to create the mini flower pots, then use a variety of green pom-poms to make welcoming cacti. Kids will love crafting them—and they are perfectly sized for some pretend doll-play!
Cut egg carton cups and trim down to make an evenly-sized cup. Cut as many cups as cacti you plan to make.
Cut brown felt into 2-by-4-inch strips. Cover one side with glue and roll lenthwise to get a 4-inch roll.
Glue the brown felt roll into the egg carton cup along the top. Make sure a little of the felt peaks above the top edge of the carton cup.
