My kids came up with this idea when there were some extra
pipe cleaners
lying around. These creatures are easy
for children to make and can be as simple or
complicated as you wish.
Choose the color of pipe cleaner you want for your creature. You
can use a whole pipe cleaner for a large creature, or cut it in half to
create smaller creature.
Start
one end and bend the shape for the head and neck.
Spiral the rest of the pipe cleaner around the bottom
of the neck. Leave the end of the pipe cleaner to create a tail if
you want.
Glue on the eyes.
Hints
If an adult is helping, a hot glue gun makes it fast to put eyes on
your creature.
Eyes can be wiggle eyes, cut from paper, or anything else you can
think of.
Twist two pipe cleaners together before starting to make your creature.
Ideas for Creatures
Cut a small piece to twist around above the eyes to make ears.
Use
another pipe cleaner to create wings and then push the wings up through
the spirals.
