This craft takes about 5-8 minutes to make and about another 15-20 for the glue to dry. It would be great to do with little ones to help build their fine motor skills and interest in creativity.
Take one white pipe cleaner and fold the fork tongs. Allow it so you have about a one-inch piece that hangs down.
Then, wrap the other end around to it and start working it across the middle.
Fold one end of another white piece over one side and keep working it back and forth until the whole middle is filled in.
Fold the last whole white piece through the bottom of the white piece you just made.
Then take that whitetail and wrap it around the pencil.
Take the whole red piece and wrap it around the white part that is on the pencil. Then fold the ends of the red to make a few fingers.
Snip off a small piece of red from the last red piece. Make it so it is slightly curved.
Add a dab of glue just below the center of the spork tines. Then glue the red curved piece just below that. Then, glue the eyes below the eyebrows.
Make a tiny half circle out of the blue pipe cleaner and use the scissors to cut it off.
Glue that blue piece just below the eyes. Then allow all glue to dry.
After the glue is dry, flip it over and take a small white piece of pipe cleaner to make a piece that the pencil slides through. This will help to keep the spork topper from flopping around.
