Make a Tree

I thought these projects turned out great!

Twist a number of pipe cleaners together up to about half-way. (The kids gave a twist, then Mom gave a twist, etc.)

Roll a ball of self-hardening clay -- and flatten one side. Stick "trunk" of tree in the base.

Spread out pipe cleaners to look like branches.

Cut up strips of paper.

Poke through the pipe cleaners to look like leaves; add beads for flowers if desired.
