Gather all the supplies needed to create the spine model.
Twist the blue and red pipe cleaners together. Secure the pipe cleaner “spinal cord” together leaving a tab with each color. This will help so the rest of the supplies don’t slip off.
Add a gummy lifesaver to the twisted pipe cleaners. Then add one rigatoni pasta.
Alternate until the whole pipe cleaner is covered. Secure the top of the spine.
Bend and move the “spine.”
