The idea for these came from a little craft book Maggie got in BKK. The pom poms had to be brought in from another country, but could be found in SE Asia, so you may have luck finding them in your country. Also got the googly eyes from Thailand. We actually have a bookstore that now carries packs of fun foam. Fun foam was used for the base. Just kind of worked with Maggie to make the shapes she wanted. Then, she picked the pom poms she wanted and stuck those along with googly eyes and short lengths of pipe cleaner (pipe cleaners also brought from America). So, this is not a craft you might be able to make exactly from what you would have in country, but maybe gives some ideas of some fun things to bring in with you after your next trip out. They were also very popular toys to play with until they fell apart.
Materials you'll need to bring in (probably): Fun foam, pompoms of various colors, googly eyes, pipe cleaners. We just used white school glue to stick them together.
