Pipe Cleaner Fun

I’m always on the lookout for any little thing that might entertain or interest Little Man. This simple activity was a surprising hit (even the Big Guy thought it was really cool!).

You just need a plastic bottle, pipe cleaners, and a strong magnet.

Cut up the pipe cleaners and put them in the bottle.

Screw on the lid and use the magnet to move the pipe cleaners around in the bottle. It’s surprisingly entertaining!
