What can I make with pipe cleaners and pom poms?

[McKayz]

I went into Hobbycraft on Saturday and managed to buy a big pack of pipe cleaners, pom poms and googly eyes. It looked like a really good pack to buy for things to do with the boys.

But I really don't know what to do with them really.

Can you give me some ideas and inspiration please?

Thank you

Spiders?

Giraffes? Aliens? Xmas decs?

Sticks pom pom together for body and head, use pipe cleaners for arms and legs and add felt wings, halos etc and make gangly angels, santa's. Could you make a kind of garland to go on bannister or tree???

I'm thinking snails - curl the pipe cleaner and stick on the pom poms for the eyes (unless they're huge). You might need to flesh out the pipe cleaner with a wax crayon or the like.

Brilliant thank you.

We'll have a go at making things after school today.

How old are the boys?

They are 5 and about to turn 4.

Okay, so teddy bears are too hard.
An upturned cup, red pompom for a nose and brown pipe cleaners for antlers...

Antenna.(sp?!) just need a black headband and some googly eyes
