Pipe Cleaner Penguins: a Clever December Craft
This easy pipe cleaner penguin craft is fun to make and only requires 3 supplies!
What You Will Need:
- Black, orange and white pipe cleaners
- Scissors (for adult use only)
- Wooden pencil
What to Do:
- Wrap a black pipe cleaner around the wooden pencil and remove. This will serve as the body of the penguin.
- Next, cut off a 1.5 inch piece of white pipe cleaner.
- Bend the ends of the white pipe cleaner in about ¼ inch on each end. Place the ends of the white pipe cleaner into the black coiled pipe cleaner.
- Cut an orange pipe cleaner into a 4” piece (the size may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the pencil and how tightly wound your coils are).
- Bend the end of the orange pipe cleaner into a small ‘M’ shape and pinch the sides together to form the feet.
- Bend the orange pipe cleaner upwards and feed through the black coiled body and out at the second coil from the top. Bend the end of the orange coil into a ‘V’ shape to form the penguin’s beak.
- Cut a 2” piece of black pipe cleaner and fold in half.
- Feed this pipe cleaner through the back of the penguin to form the wings.
6 Tips for Traveling with Kids Over the Holidays
Traveling with kids is stressful. You end up channeling your inner pack mule as you try to accommodate all your baby gear, toys, etc. Getting children through TSA becomes an event of Olympic proportions. Dodging stares of unhappy passengers who are muttering, “They better not be sitting by me” becomes second nature. And then there is the crafty art of keeping your child from melting down. Oh the joys of crowded holiday travel!
A few tips:
- Give yourself lots of extra time for check-in, connecting flights, getting through security, etc. You really can’t have too much time built in for this. (Well arriving a week early for your flight may be too much time.
) - Pack a few new inexpensive toys from the Dollar Store and pull them out one at a time when your child starts to get fussy. (We also like Kids Travel Happy site for fun travel toys.)
- Disposable bibs and changing pads make in-flight eating & changing a little easier.
- Have a smaller bag for diaper changing essentials. It’s hard enough to change a child in an airplane bathroom, let alone trying to juggle a diaper bag while you are in there.
- Take a change of clothing for you & your child in case you have a big spill or accident.
- Pack a lightweight stroller or baby carrier to make getting around a little easier.
Nightline took traveling with kids to the test. See how they handled the mid-air meltdowns.
