Simple Pipe Cleaner Crafts
You see the other day the big kids were looking for something to do. So, I got out the pipe cleaners and a few other arts & crafts supplies and let them take it from there. We started out simply trying to see what we could create with pipe cleaners. We braided them into bracelets, make pipe cleaner characters, then came the mustache!
