Pipe Cleaner Butterfly Ring

Pipe cleaners are a great craft material for little kids to mould and bend into shape. My girls love these pipe cleaner butterfly rings, and best of all they are very quick to make.

7. Once your butterfly is complete, bend the butterfly/ring part at 90 degrees so the butterfly sits against your finger when worn.

You can also make butterfly bracelets by using the same instructions, but measure the pipe cleaners around your wrist instead of your finger.

This craft activity is great for fine motor skills. It’s best for kids 4 years and older, although my 18 month old loves to wear the ring on her finger.
