POMPOM is a decorative item made of two round balls of fabric or yarn attached to a handle. The two round balls are known as tufts, and the handle is usually made of plastic or wood. The tufts are usually brightly colored and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as cheering on a sports team or decorating a room. POMPOMs are also popular in dance and cheerleading routines. They are often seen at parades and other festive events.
