Make Monkeys with Pipe Cleaners

I love monkeys...maybe you do too. If you like monkeys...you can make one hanging from a twig trapeze swing too. This monkey is made from pipe cleaners...for his legs, arms, and tail. Another pipe cleaner is wound around his body and his head. You can use a stick for the trapeze handle and a piece of thread tied in a knot around each side of the stick for the trapeze swing. This monkey would be a great acrobat for the circus.
