I was just at a dept. head meeting this week for the school corporation I work for. We actually had a math lesson demonstration using pipe cleaners to make 3-dimentional shapes. Is was too fun!!!! As a child I made pipe cleaner pencil toppers with eyes glued on to it. Playing with the pipe cleaners took me back to when I was a child! Great lens! Please check out my lenses.
