Circles

When learning about circles, a simple activity that makes a child think and work hard was showing them how to make circles with all different sizes of pipe cleaners. After showing each child personally and helping them make a few, they were left to try and figure out how to make the rest of their pipe cleaners to stay in the circle shape. Some kids got frustrated, but when other kids started getting them to wrap around and stick together, they were working together and asking each other for help so they could all wear their new "circle bracelets!"
