How do you make easy animals out of pipe cleaners?

Kind of. Don’t throw them into the washing machine. You can kind of hand wash them but be careful. Use mild soap and warm water and let dry.

You can get them at Michaels or WalMart in a pinch, but I like this set from Caydo. The colors are amazing and the price is right.
