Supplies: 4 pipe cleaners...that's it ! Instructions: Ahead of time (for a party), cut one pipe cleaner in half and one in fourths. With one of peices of the pipe cleaner that you cut in half, shape it into a circle and twist the ends around each other for the head. Take one of the whole pipe cleaners and shape it into the arms. Attach the top of the other whole pipe cleaner to the head and around the arms peice. This will make the body and one leg. With the other peice of pipe cleaner that you cut in half, measure up the same length from the bottom of the body, and attach making the other leg. Take a moment to bend the legs at the bottom like feet. With the remaining 4 small peices, twist around the body for ribs. This is a simple and inexpensive craft children can do. Children under 6 or 7 may not have the fine motor skills for twisting these however, and may need an adult's assistance.
