Practice Spelling with Pipe Cleaner Words

Do you call these things pipe cleaners or chenille stems?

It’s a big debate isn’t it? When I was a kid we called them pipe cleaners, so I still use that term. But, no matter what you call them, you can make just about anything with them.

And today we’re using them to practice spelling when we make Pipe Cleaner Words.

You don't have to write your words to practice spelling, instead your can bend, twist, and curve to create Pipe Cleaner Words.

To set-up:

You need nothing more than a supply of pipe cleaners (a.k.a chenille stems) and a list of spelling words.

You don't have to write your words to practice spelling, instead your can bend, twist, and curve to create Pipe Cleaner Words.

Make Your Pipe Cleaner Words

Fold and bend your pipe cleaners to make each of the letters in a spelling word. Straighten it out and create the next word. Keep going and work your way through your spelling list.

This is a great quiet activity and good for kids who like to use their hands to create. It’s a nice break from writing, too.

When you have more than one kid working on spelling words, challenge them to a race. Who can create a work the quickest? 

It’s so much fun to learn your spelling words when you get to make them out of pipe cleaners! The next time you need to practice spelling, create some Pipe Cleaner Words.

You don't have to write your words to practice spelling, instead your can bend, twist, and curve to create Pipe Cleaner Words.
