I always love crafting with the kiddos. It’s amazing to see their creativity and imagination at work. Sometimes we get so involved that I’m playing right along with them. Each of us working on our own separate creations then showing them off to each other when finished. These flowers are the result of one of those times.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy craft on the fly for the kiddos, then you’ll love these easy kid-friendly pipe cleaner flowers! They’re great for unexpected days off of school. Bring some pipe cleaners with you on vacation for kiddos to enjoy in the hotel room. Quick, easy, and travels well… does it get any better than that?

We’ve made so many of these pipe cleaner flowers that we have our own colorful garden going on right now. Of course, I love the bright, almost fluorescent colors but 2 of the kiddos prefer the more muted (or “real” according to them) colors. Change it up completely and attach 2 different color pipe cleaners together in Step 2 for an even more colorful and fun flower. You can also stack 2 different colorful flowers together before wrapping the center for an even fuller flower. That’s how fun and versatile this craft can be!
