Painting with Pipe Cleaners

A fun and different way to paint! Using pipe cleaners to paint helps with fine motor skills. It is also a great sensory tool. The pipe cleaner can be used to make lines (when used like a stamp) or to create a textured design when brushed like a paint brush. So grab a few pipe cleaners, some paint, and let your children experiment!

Here are a few examples from the candy canes I had the daycare kids make (ages 14months - 35 months) :)
