Pom-Pom Friends — A Sweet Reminder to Slow Down in Piano Lessons

Have you ever been reminded to slow waaaaay down in piano lessons?

That happened this week.

I’ve been wanting to use pom-poms as an off-bench activity for a while now — and finally did it!

We’ve been experimenting with touching a pom-pom using the fingertip, and picking them up using “doughnut” shapes:
🎯 1 and 3 together,
🎯 1 and 2,
(And yes, they want to try 1–4 and 1–5, but those happen less often — for obvious reasons!)

If you use My First Piano Adventures, this will sound familiar.
