There's two particularly excellent things about this Klutz craft: the red plastic Wrap and Snap Pom Pom Maker, and the cool ideas and techniques for making each and every one of you monsters unique. 

Designed so that it splits in two halves, and being made of thick and sturdy plastic, the Wrap and Snap is a lot more durable, and easier to use for pom-pom making than a traditional cardboard circle. For the most part, our testers had no problems. And making the pom-pom was just the start. Salon time was  the really crative part of this activity. The book shows you how to tie pig tails, cut bangs, and use the comb to fluff up your moster's hair. And to add the final touches, the book includes a good selection of colourful cut-out accessories. 

While it's best to start with the basics, the book also has instructions to make more complicated mulit-coloured pom-poms so you can create monsters with mohawks, bushy eyebrows and even extra tall beehive doos.
