Easy Project You Can Do Tomorrow: Drawing with Pipe Cleaners

Here's the challenge: Draw the object using line. . . the line you will be using is made from pipe cleaners.

1. Twist three pipe cleaners together to make a straight line.
2. Bend and twist pipe cleaners to "draw" the object you are observing (we used scissors)
3. Draw your object using a pencil and paper. 

Some questions for students. . . 
Which was more difficult, using pipe cleaners or pencil to replicate the scissors?
Which was more fun to work with? Why?

This is harder to do then it looks.

Success!

Drawing our scissors.
