Make a Pipe Cleaner Tree – A Fun Craft for Kids

Looking for a simple and creative craft activity for children? 🌳 Make a charming little tree using pipe cleaners and wooden beads!

This easy craft is a lovely way for children to practise their fine motor skills while threading beads, twisting pipe cleaners and creating their own miniature tree. The best part? Your finished tree can stand on its own!

What you need:

• 4 pipe cleaners, each 300 mm long
• About 15 g of wooden beads with holes large enough to fit over the pipe cleaners

Fold the four pipe cleaners in half…

… and twist them together around your finger to form the tree trunk.

Leave about 60–70 mm of each pipe cleaner free at the top. These will become the branches.

Spread the bottom loops apart and flatten them to form the roots. Your tree should now be able to stand on its own!

Thread the wooden beads onto the branches. Bend the tips of the pipe cleaners slightly to stop the beads from falling off.
