Pipe Cleaner Busy Bag

I have been trying to think of activities to keep my 3-year-old son busy lately. He is a busy little guy a
 
nd always wants to be involved in what we are doing in our homeschool. I typically have little busy-bag activities for him to do and needed to add in some new ones.
 
We have lots of pipe cleaners so I decided to make a pipe cleaner shape matching activity. I created some simple pictures for him to use to create shapes with pipe cleaners or yarn. You could really do this with any shapes, but I thought it would be fun to make it a more creative picture with nature scenes.

I made several different printable pages that can be used in a busy bag or just for anytime.

We tried doing the activities with yarn as well and it is a little easier to shape them for younger kids.
