DIY Icicle Ornaments

Children need to strengthen their fine motor skills.  During December and January children from toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, and grade 1 students will have fun making these easy Christmas crafts for kids to celebrate the holiday season of Christmas and winter cold. This is important for future tasks such as tying shoes, zipping a zipper, feeding themselves, holding a pencil and writing. Creating this Icicle Ornament  helps children strengthen these skills in two ways.

  • Pincer Grip – This is when you use your pointer finger and thumb to pick something up, as you do when you pick up a bead. Children will be doing this exercise over and over with this ornament creation.
  • Pushing The Bead Onto The Pipe Cleaner –  This is fantastic for strengthening various hand muscles. Still using the pincer grip, just in a different way.

Start by creating a loop at the end of one pipe cleaner. This is what creates the ornament loop.
I used a paint bottle to make the pipe cleaner a curly form. This can be done later, but I did it first. It will start to lose its curl as you add beads, but it can be re-adjusted.

Next, have the children decide if they want to do a pattern with the beads or just put them on as they wish. It doesn’t matter either way, but the pattern for older preschoolers could be even more beneficial for them.

Children will then lace the pipe cleaner with the beads until there is about an inch left on the pipe cleaner. Hook the pipe cleaner up and around the last bead to keep the beads from falling off.
