Creating Whole New Worlds... Out of Pipe Cleaners and Construction Paper!

One of Elijah's favorite presents was a compound art set complete with pipe cleaners and a quart bottle of glue. Shown here is E fabricating everything from Predator warship control panels to pipe-cleaner modern art. He came out with a piece of construction paper and several wadded up pipe cleaners glued to it and i said, "Wow, Bug, that's cool! What is it?" He looked at me with one of those "duh, dad!" kinds of stares and said, "Uh... it's just some pipe cleaners glued to some construction paper, dad...". Considering that most things he contrives are seldom what they seem, it always throws me for a loop when the answer is actually simple.
