Anyone, even small children,(even me hahah) can string beads onto pipe cleaners.
Bend up the end of the pipe cleaner so the beads stay in place . The pipe cleaner works like a needle, making a needle unnecessary. For best results, show the children how to alternate colors when stringing, or start a pattern of three colors. When the beads are strung on the pipe cleaners, they can be bent into different Christmas shapes. An example would be, ad a red bead then a clear bead and repeat along the length of the pipe cleaner, then bendaround one end for a candy cane shape.

Or alternate red and green beads and form a circle for a wreath. Use red pipe cleaner to form a small bow to decorate the wreath. Form a hanger for the Christmas craft or simply slip the circle over a branch of the tree.
