Chenille Stem / Pipe Cleaner Sculptures

This craft was entirely created by Emmitt. He decided to get out the chenille stems while hubby and I watched a movie last night and picked it back up today. Easton joined in and made his own thing. Since Emmitt was creating trees I suggested he get some cardboard and make a scene.

Ella was simply not interested so I got out some paint sticks for her.

You'll see the kids using the craft room/classroom for this activity. This is where we keep our supplies and do most of our crafting.

Look at this mess! 😲

Here is Emmitt digging in the "recycle materials box" I keep boxes, tubes, old chop sticks, and anything else in here.

Emmitts finished work. He placed a person climbing in the tree.

Easton's face, he had fun demonstrating the sound his face was making...😵

I like to buy my chenille stems for about 20 for $1, usually from the Dollar Tree or on sale at Hobby Lobby. The huge quantity I have at the moment came from a yard sale last summer (score!).
