More Pipe Cleaner Fun!

Personally, I love pipe cleaners. They're cheap and can be used for multitudes of crafts. Did I mention, they're cheap. So as I've said before, I really try to find as many projects that allow me to spend the least amount of money and reuse things that I already have. This project uses a plastic bottle of any kind. One that is taller is preferred and some cut up pipe cleaners and a magnet. Depending on how old your child is, you'll want a magnet with a handle or one they can hold on to easily. You'll also want to make sure the magnet is strong enough to grab enough pipe cleaners at one time. 

Necessary Items
 Colorful pipe cleaners
 Plastic bottle
 Magnet
 Scissors
 Helpful assistant

Step One
   Cut up pipe cleaners. You'll want them to be smaller than an inch but I didn't measure them exactly. You just want to make sure that there is enough room for movement inside the bottle.

Step Two
   Have assistant put cut up pipe cleaners in the bottle. Work on those fine motor skills.

Step Three
   Tight cap to bottle and give assistant magnet.

Step Four
   PLAY TIME!!

 The magnet that I had wasn't all that strong, so I'm going to be getting a stronger one for monkey to use. But, this craft was fun. She loves playing with the different colors, so it was good practice with her picking out the colors and saying the names.
