Our birdhouses, according to Anna, needed birdies. So I bought a big bag of assorted pompoms and pulled out a few other supplies:

A little glue here, a little cutting there…

…and we had fuzzy little googly-eyed birds!

And then we made some name caterpillars because gluing pompoms is kind of addictive.
