Lots of fun! Perfect gift for my 10 year old daughter. She went through all of the pipe cleaner crafts in about one day, so I HIGHLY recommend buying an extra bag of multi-colored pipe cleaners from an art store in order to extend your fun, have more for multiple kids or if you wish to recreate the crafts.
Who knew that you could make some many things out of pipe cleaners? This book is absolutely excellent! I used it originally about 8 years ago, and I purchased it to use this summer with 3rd grade students at summer school. The kids had a great time...and I did too! A must have!
Super Pipe Cleaner Book Not stupid or childish. The best pipe cleaner craft book I've been able to find. Projects were eagerly tried and many time recreated. More then sunglasses and jewerly. The book you want if you're looking for pipe cleaner crafts!!
Highly recommended for little kids! I bought this book on a whim -- I wanted a quiet indoor activity that my 7 year old niece and my mom could do together. My niece absolutely LOVED this book. She was old enough to know how to read, and young enough to enjoy doing little crafty projects -- I think that's a key combination to how much a child will like this book. She could figure out the directions herself, and she and my mom spent a few hours making the projects in the book. Later, she reused some of the pipe cleaners to make up her own projects.
All in all, this book kept her occupied for several hours over the weekend. I expect that she's still having fun with it -- we bought her a stack of pipe cleaners from the local craft store.
I HIGHLY recommend this book -- it's not messy or noisy, kids like it, they can follow the book or use their imaginations, they can do the projects independently or in a small playgroup, and buying more pipe cleaners is very inexpensive -- a few dollars gets you several packets. I bet it would be a great activity for kids taking long car trips, or for rainy-day fun.
My _ONLY_ critique of this book is that they should give enough pipe cleaners for TWO of each project, instead of for just one. That way, if a child wants to play with another person, each one can make the same item. The cost of doing so should be quite small, as the the pipe cleaners are really cheap, but even if it raised the book cost by another dollar or two, it would be worth it!
okay I think this book is very creative but there is nothing to do with the animals when you finish them. and so i just put them in a drawer.
