There are several kinds of plastic rod, sometimes found at high-end craft 
stores which can be heat-formed --not unfortunately an activity for kids.  
The "swirly" shape of Indonesian rods would be easier to form from heavy 
gauge aluminum sculpture wire - the stiffer kind.  A nail-board jig would be 
the best way.  It can be painted to make it  resemble the original by first 
spraying with metaal primer - again not for kids, then painting with 
acrylics.  Twisting lengths of the lighter kind together might also work.
