Name: Pipe Cleaner Animal Toys
Ingredients: Pipe cleaners in colors of your choice; Scissors; Googly eyes (optional); Beads (optional)

Choose your colors. Decide which pipe cleaner colors you want for the animal’s body and any contrasting details.
Plan the main pieces. Identify the sections your animal needs: a body, legs, and any other features you want to include.
Cut the pipe cleaners. Use scissors to cut different lengths for the body, legs, and other parts.
Form the body. Take the pieces intended for the main body and twist them together to create a central shape.
Attach the limbs. Twist the leg pieces onto the body so they are secured at their connection points.
Add smaller features. Use shorter pieces for details such as ears or a tail and twist each onto the body.
Add eyes if desired. Glue on googly eyes or beads for eyes, following the glue manufacturer’s directions.
Shape the animal’s pose. Bend the body, legs, ears, and tail until the figure has the expression and stance you want.
Inspect the finished piece. Check that the twisted connections feel secure and that no sharp wire ends are exposed.

Keep in mind that these figures are decorative crafts, not suitable toys for young children who might put small parts in their mouths.
