This is a fun (and cute) Valentine's Day craft project that can get even the little tots involved. Make a pretty garland to decorate for Valentine's Day using just colored pipe cleaners and beads.
Supplies:
Pipe cleaners in red, pink and white
Clear pony beads
Making the garland is pretty easy. First fold a pipe cleaner in half. Let your little one string bead on each side of the crease. You can decide if you want lots or a little. (Keep in mind that it will get heavy with lots of beads!)
Once the beads are on, bend each side of the pipe cleaner into a curve, making a heart shape and twist other ends together to keep in shape. For each additional heart, loop it through the previous shape before twisting shut.
We had a great time making these, but Little R actually had MORE fun making his own creations out of the pipe cleaners and beads!
This is so cute And I know we can do this for one of our art projects in the next week--Littles love pipe cleaners--some times I find them in the oddest places-- thanks for an idea
