Pipe cleaners are a wonderful crafting tool for children because of their soft, fuzzy texture and flexibility. A toddler may need quite a bit of help to complete this craft, but an elementary school student should be able to complete it with minimal help. I made this flower with Emma to fill a vase she has in her play kitchen.
MATERIALS:
- 3 pipe cleaners, two green and the third whatever color you want your flower to be. You can use more flower-colored pipe cleaners to make a fuller, more 3D flower.
STEPS:
MaryAnne lives is a craft loving educator, musician, photographer, and writer who lives in Silicon Valley with her husband Mike and their four children.
Thanks! I love your idea of making little people, flowers, etc to attach to gifts!
Oh, I just love this! Pipe cleaners are great. I bought myself a big bag last year and I make little people, flowers, etc…and attach them to gifts. My daughter, who is four, just likes to twist them up every which way. I like your flower a lot and will give it a try today!>Love your blog, btw.
