Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
I printed "Daddy" onto a piece of white cardstock. You could also hand-write it. Any kind of paper works, but I love card stock for durability. Make the printing or writing very large so that if your child places pom poms over the letters you can still read the word.
Step 2
I poured the glue into a little dish to make dipping the pom poms easier.
Step 3
I showed my child how to dip the pom poms into the glue.
Step 4
He randomly stuck them onto the paper.
Step 5
When he decided he was done, we left the paper to dry. He spent a few more minutes exploring with the glue and some remaining pom poms, making a sort of pom pom and glue soup.
Final result!
I trimmed the paper a bit and added "I love you", the year, and a signature with a sharpie. You can also mount this on some pretty scrapbooking paper or attach a magnet to the back.
