Creativity Street Stetems/Pipe Cleaners 12" X 6mm 100-Piece Assorted Colors

They were fine

These keep my middle schoolers quietly fidgeting.

What can a person say about a pipe cleaner? I use them for lots of little projects, from securing a houseplant to a chopstick, to wrapping phone and camera cords...Just something I like to keep around the house. Hang padlock keys on, and color code them. Just bought these for a friend who couldn't find them locally. Because that's what friends do. Send them little what-bits, out of the clear blue sky, based on past conversations.The seller was great. Sent them straight away.

I purchased these pipe cleaners after scouring Pinterest for toddler crafts! There are so many crafts and easy activities that you can do with pipe cleaners, so I was excited to try these out. Immediately, my daughter liked sticking them into our strainer. She also liked stringing cheerios on these and eating them off of her wrist!Bonus: our two cats love playing with these and bat them around on the floor for HOURS. It's great for me when I am playing with my daughter and may not have as much time to play with the cats as I once did before having kids.Pros:1. Super versatile. There are so many uses for these.2. Affordable - these are a great price for the size and how many you get in a package.3. The colors are bright and vibrant and the pipe cleaners are soft and fluffy!Cons:1. My one con and the reason for 2 stars and not more is that the ends are incredibly sharp. These are absolutely a safety hazard for use with children. I do not feel comfortable with my daughter playing with these unsupervised (which was the point of some of the activities I had planned for her with these) and even when I am watching her, they are really sharp! I stepped on one that was on the ground and it poked my foot. They have pretty much stayed put in our craft bucket since then.Overall, I would not recommend these for use with kids. The ends are incredibly sharp and could be a huge safety issue. The reason I did not give these 1 star is because perhaps they would be suitable for use for adults or older kids.

These are longer than most so I can use only half for some projects.Love the vibrant colors and they haven't begun to fade (not much time but placed in the sun).Many uses so far. Hubby says it has almost replaced my Duct Tape Everything usage. LOLRecommend!

Nice, long and plush with vibrant color. I ordered them because my cat is addicted to playing fetch and pipe cleaners are his favorite toy. These were too long for that purpose so I cut them in half which made them perfect for my needs.

I use these to get into the nooks and cranny's of firearms when I need to clean them. They work very well, and are long enough to reach into remote areas.
