There is just something about colorful, twisty pipe cleaners that make playing with them so much fun. I was cleaning out a big craft bucket one day and I found a huge gallon bag of pipe cleaners. I called my girls over and gave them the bag and they were in heaven! They played with those things for hours.
I let them have free play with them. They created little houses, and dolls and shapes. After a quick internet search, I was amazed at how many ways that you can use pipe cleaners for fine motor skills practice and learning fun! These awesome ideas will make you want to pick some up on your next trip out!
