Pipe Cleaner Bracelets With Beads
This is a perfect craft for younger kids to practice their fine motor skills. They use their pincer grasp, the tips of their index finger and thumb, to hold the beads and string them onto the pipe cleaner. You want the bead holes to be big enough to fit through the stem easily. Pipe cleaners are great because unlike string, the beads won’t slip off if you let go of the bracelet.
With so many varieties of beads you can get creative. Use big beads, small beads or letter beads. Make colored patterns or make it random. You can even personalize it with your name!
Once you’ve strung on enough beads bend and fold over the ends of the pipe cleaner to secure and form a bracelet.
How cute did these turn out!?
Have fun creating your own bracelets!
