Pipe Cleaner Creatures

Materials

pipe cleaners
googly eyes
glue

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.
