Pipe cleaners are not only the ideal stringing aid for beads, there is much more to do with pipe cleaners! Your child can learn many new things with these pipe cleaners: bending, feeling, twisting or stringing beads and with a little imagination there is much more to think of and make. With the pipe cleaners a child can practice fine motor skills and the nice feeling of the soft outside stimulates the fingers. And for slightly older children there are many applications for crafting such as making an animal or a house.
