How We Made DIY Straw Pipe Cleaner Headbands
First, my daughter cut the straws at whatever length she wanted.
This is great for cutting practice!
Some of the straw pieces went flying across the table as she cut them.
But she was able to find all the straw pieces. Always good for a few giggles!
She then sorted them by color into piles.
Next, she threaded the pipe cleaner through the straw pieces.
This is great fine motor practice!
I initially intended on having my daughter make a bracelet, but the pipe cleaner was too long!
And the pipe cleaner was too short for a necklace or headband.
So, she twisted the tip of another pipe cleaner onto the tip of the first pipe cleaner and added more straw pieces.
We twisted the ends of the pipe cleaners together to complete it.
The one extra pipe cleaner made it big enough to be a headband, which my daughter liked.
See, I told you this was a simple activity to do with straws and pipe cleaners!
