Bend the end of the pipe cleaner slightly. (This will help the beads to stay on the pipe cleaner during this activity.)
Place the desired amount and colors of pony beads on the pipe cleaner. Kids can make patterns with their beads.
When finished, bend the other end of the pipe cleaner slightly.
Wrap the finished pipe cleaner with beads around the pencil to make it curly. Remove the pencil.
Repeat this process for the remainder of the icicles.
