In the sport of cheerleading, pom-pons are used in the very youngest of squads. Even children too young for cheerleading are drawn to pom poms because they are decorative and usually shiny, not to mention they make an intriguing sound when shaken. However, small children should not be given pom poms as a plaything because the strings can come loose and break off, posing a choking hazard. For children old enough to avoid putting things in their mouth or chewing on things, you can make pom poms for playing by cutting crepe paper streamers into narrow strips, folding them in half and tying them with string about 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the fold. Be sure to use enough strips to create the fullness you want.
