Children love making gifts for their parents and other adults who
are important to them. But what can they make that will delight the
person they are giving the gift to?
Here's how you can quickly and easily get lots of simple, high quality
gift ideas that you children can make. Guaranteed to be fun the
children making the gift, and a delight for the person receiving it.
** Cut one pipe cleaner in three pieces and twist them together in
the center. Tie a thread or wool around each of the arms
to create a circle.
** Take one pipe cleaner and twirl it into a spiral shape.
** Take two pipe cleaners and twist them together in the
center. Bend the pieces to create square or rectangular
sections of the snowflake.
Put
glue on the pipe cleaner snowflake.
Dip the snowflake into the glitter and let dry. Or put a
pie plate or tray underneath the snowflake and sprinkle the
glitter over the snowflake.
Let dry.
Have the kids check both sides of the snowflake to see if they
want to add more glitter to any bare spots.
Thanks to Jere B. for this project idea.
Hints:
Use colored pipe cleaners to create colorful snowflakes.
Some children will like multi-colored glitter, while other
will want to choose their own color combination (e.g. blue pipe
cleaners with silver glitter).
Every parent must use their own judgment in choosing which crafts and activities are
safe for their own children. While Creative Kids at Home makes every
effort to provide activity ideas that are safe and fun for children it is
your responsibility to choose the activities that are safe in your own home.
