Abstract: A bundle of strands of a plastic or textile material are arranged so as to be bundled together and attached, mechanically, to a handle consisting of a pair of spaced apart legs with a spherical knob at the end of each of the legs for facilitating the grasping of the device, a pompon. The handle is configured to accept a finger of one hand between the legs in order to hold the pompon and this construction prevents the handle from easily slipping off the finger since the spacing between the spheres is too small to allow a finger to pass through. The two spheres also provide an indicia that make the spheres appear as eyeballs. As such, the pompon may be used for shaking as by cheer leaders without the fear of being dropped, or may be placed on any surface with the handle extending upwardly, and then appears to be a small creature with a thick furry coat and a pair of eyes observing its surroundings.
