Wouldn't it be fun to have toy action figures for your entire family, your friends, classmates, or your favorite characters? Here is an easy way to make your own characters. Just take out 2 pipe cleaners and twist and turn the pipe cleaners the way that you see in the illustrations above....follow them in alphabetical order. Now ask permission to cut out faces of your family members from photographs. Glue or paste them on the pipe cleaner figures that you made. Like I said earlier, it doesn't have to be family members, it can be characters that you print out or cut from magazines.
