Pipe cleaners are perfect for making cereal bracelets. They are stiff enough that it's easy for toddlers to put the cereal on themselves, and they don't slide off when they're putting more on. My daugter loved this! (Thanks Kelly!)
My daughter got this flower in nursery, and I thought it was a great idea. You take a paper cup and poke a hole in the bottom. Attach a paper or plastic flower (you could easily cut some out of colored paper) to one end of a green pipe cleaner and put the other end through the cup. My daugter made her flower "grow" by pushing the pipe cleaner up over and over and over!
Here it is! As she calls it, her "Princess Crown".

Oh my goodness, awesome idea! Anything that's quiet during church is a must. The Boys always want their cars, but those can get pretty loud when they're driving them across the wooden pews, and then when one Boy gets a car the other wanted... well, it ain't pretty (or quiet!). I love your ideas...
Cute! Cute! I love it. Didn't I see you wearing that crown this morning? HA HA I'll have to put some ideas on when I think of some. HE HE HE
I just love the flower!
I got beads with fairly large holes and had my kids make Christmas decorations to give away. If you buy beads in bulk, they aren't too expensive and my kids absolutely loved it. I'm sure that their grandparents, aunts and uncles did, as well.
I love the cereal idea. And I think I might try taking them to church. I'm always looking for new, lightweight, quiet church activities.
My eight-year old saw this and said, "Mom, can we please do that?" So even older kids love these ideas!
I'm adding these to my $1 store list. Great ideas to show them, and then see what they come up with. I love the growing flower (it's flower season!).
