Pipe Cleaners and No Clean-Up

Pipe cleaners are flexible, colorful, and are useful for many craft projects.

I'm working on new craft projects for my upcoming classes in February and I had a pile of pipe cleaners on the table.

My son has been home sick and he's been bored so of course he wanted to know what I was doing and asked for some of the pipe cleaners so he can make something.

He made this house just twisting the pipe cleaners together. I was so impressed that he thought to make a doorknob and a smoke stack. He was so proud of his creation.

Give the kids a pile of pipe cleaners and let them use their imagination. You will be amazed at what they can make.

When you have coupons for Michael's or your local craft supply store pick up pipe cleaners in a variety of colors to keep in your craft supplies. Using only pipe cleaners insures you will have a clean craft project - no paint, glue or glitter is necessary so cleanup is a breeze.

This activity is good to do with playdates, on snow days, or when they are home sick.

Creativity Is Endless!
