Pipe Cleaners and a Spice Jar

In looking for different activities for Sophie to do, I ran across an idea of using a spice jar for some hand-eye-coordination work (not sure where the original idea is from, so please let me know if you find it so I can link to it!).  I finally had finished off one of my spices and decided to try it.  It was very simple to put together.  I cleaned out the jar as best as I could to try to eliminate some of the smell as it was a garlic jar so smelled quite strong.  I then took a few different colors of pipe cleaners, cut them into fourths to fit into the jar.  Done!  It's a quick, quiet activity that requires little help, assuming she can get them into the holes without bending the pipe cleaner.  :)  Unfortunately, washing didn't help with the garlic smell, so it does have quite a smell to it!  Sophie doesn't seem to mind, though.  :) 

Here's the best shots I was able to get with my phone camera (all I had on me) during one of her times of playing with it a while back.
