Memo holder-figures

Materials:

• Pipe cleaners
• Craft paper, wooden marbles
• Clothes pegs, glue
• Scissors , Felt pens, paper clips

Instructions for Memo-holder Giraffe:

Thread two brown pipe cleaners through a wooden marble- thread half way through and then thread back so that on one side there are two loops and on the other end of the marble are the four ends of the pipe cleaners. Thread a third pipe cleaner approximately 4cm through the two loops on the marble, pull the legs tightly. On the third pipe cleaner, make a small bushy tail and on the longer end of the pipe cleaner make two ears by forming an ‘M’ shape. Cut a head out of craft paper, draw on a face and stick it just under the ‘ears’ on the third pipe cleaner. At the leg ends, make small circles for the feet. Attach a few paper clips to the neck for memos/notes.

Instructions for Spider monkey:

Bend a pipe cleaner in then bend the top third backwards to make a loop. Use another pipe cleaner for the arms – wrap it around the top part of the first pipe cleaner and pull tight. A third pipe cleaner is used for the monkey tail – secure to the loop of the first pipe cleaner. Cut a head out of craft paper, draw on the face and stick to the top of the first pipe cleaner. Bend the ears over, use wooden marbles as hands and make feet by bending the end of the pipe cleaners into small circles. The monkey is attached to the clothes peg via the loop of the first pipe cleaner used (to which the tail is also attached).
