Bead Ornaments

I loved making these as a kid and I love watching Freddie enjoy it too! 

Materials needed:  Pipe cleaners and "tri beads"  I'd like to add some metallic pipe cleaners to our craft box because I think they'd add a little sparkle to these.  Try using wire cutters to turn the ends of the piper cleaners in tightly to prevent beads from falling off.

Hans as been taking this one off the tree and pretending to eat it. 

Adding a little kink on the end of the pipe cleaner helped Freddie to not push the beads off the end.  He's been talking about patterns a lot lately so this activity was perfect for him.

I had only made candy canes and wreaths but aren't the snowflakes great?  Clip a the pipe cleaner into three equal parts and twist together to get the form.
