Give them to the children with some glue and paper and other creative resources and the inspiration will come from them!!!
Just sit back and watch!

we made stick people out of them (bending them similar way to modelling balloons) and then made them chairs, tables, beds, etc - Amazing how long making them kept them occupied and then they played with them like small world toys after!:clapping:

We've made umbrellas before with half a paper plate, kids decorate the plate then attach pipe cleaner for the handle.

Is it just me who hates pipe cleaners???

My DD loves them and has loads but I think they're just dangerous. Am I just a bit OTT? :blush:
